Getting "Butterflies"

Repertorio Español presents En El Tiempo de las Mariposas ("In the Time of Butterflies") by Caridad Svich and Julia Álvarez, now through April 8.
Based on Julia Álvarez’s popular novel, this is the story of the courageous Mirabal sisters (Patria, Minerva y María Teresa) from the Dominican Republic. The sisters inspired resistance cells throughout the country against the dictatorial regime of Gen. Rafael Leónidas Trujillo. The ‘butterflies’, their secret code name, were brutally murdered by the regime in 1960.
Presented in Spanish (live simultaneous English translation available)

Video and digital animation by Alex Koch
Soundscape and original music by Jane Shaw
