| MacArthur "Genius" Award winner Luis Alfaro has fashioned a comic, intense and resonant updating of Sophocles’ Electra. Transplanting the Greek drama to the Los Angeles barrio, Alfaro draws from his own personal experiences and his gift as a poet to depict the members of a Chicano family striving desperately to live fulfilled lives in the shadow of their gang-dominated heritage. Electricidad was the winner of a prestigious production grant from The Kennedy Center Fund for New American Plays.
