Torera

Bullfighting in Yucatán, Mexico is a world nearly exclusive to men-yet for Elena María Ramírez, it is her life's ambition. With the help of her best friend, a matador's son, Elena begins secretly training to compete with the greatest. But when she discovers that her seemingly inherent talent can beat even the most accomplished toreros, this young woman must choose between accepting society's limits or breaking boundaries. A powerful play written by a stunning new voice in the American theatre, Torera tells a poignant story about becoming your truest self by proudly stepping into the ring.

Torera premiered at the Alley Theatre in Houston, Texas on May 12, 2023. Directed by Tatiana Pandiani, the production featured Jacqueline Guillén, Jesse Castellanos, Eliud Garcia Kauffman, Maria Elena Ramirez, José Arrieta Cuesta and Carolína Ornelas.
