Christine Quintana’s compassionate bilingual play, “Espejos: Clean,” is deftly acted and directed at Studio Theatre.
That suspense inheres through much of Christine Quintana’s “Espejos: Clean,” now on view in a Studio Theatre production deftly directed by Elena Araoz. Told largely in vividly evoked stories and monologues voiced by two lonely female characters, this compassionate bilingual play generates satisfying drama when the women interact in a couple of tense two-person scenes.
Overall, the play’s trauma-and-healing themes feel too pat, and one of the characters is less richly drawn than the other. But the production showcases two excellent performers who tap in to the script’s poetry and feeling. Performed in Spanish and English with easy-to-read surtitles , “Espejos” is set at a ritzy Cancún resort. Adriana , a Mexico native who manages the resort’s housekeeping staff, is glad for the workload that helps her forget an unhappy past. Sarah , an attendee at a destination wedding, has a secret that further strains her painful relationship with her Vancouver-based family.
The mud-centered flashback is just one of the poetic invocations of soiling, cleaning and water in this 2022 play. Luis Garcia’s projections — ocean waves, storm clouds, eddies on a pool’s surface — and Daniel Ocanto’s sound design help the images reverberate.Style is where The Washington Post covers happenings on the front lines of culture and what it all means, including the arts, media, social trends, politics and yes, fashion, all told with personality and deep reporting.
