The Journey of "Bocón!"
The captivating performance that led Parkland Theatre to victory was "Bocón!" – a poignant tale of a young boy's quest to find the border of lights. Along the way, he loses his voice, his way, and his hope, facing challenges that mirror the struggles of those seeking asylum. The narrative unfolds with encounters with colorful characters who remind him of the importance of sharing his story – a story that resonates with the fears and challenges faced by many.
