Teatro Dignidad and Coalición de Derechos Humanos Presents
Elaine Romero’s El Tiradito World Premiere
Myth, border crossings, and activism converge on the site that is El Tiradito in this multi-layered
immersive play that looks at the interwoven stories of a place; or an idea of a place that has
held significance for our community since its founding in 1871. As new migrants still wander a
perilous desert to attempt to come to the U.S., Elaine Romero’s play explores years of activism
at the Wishing Shrine, and captures the longing and love inspired by El Tiradito. Whether it be
in service of an impossible cause, a cry to activism, or the simple retelling of how El Tiradito
might have been founded, this shrine holds a place for all of us. Come. Engage. Renew your
faith on unconsecrated and sacred earth.
This immersive play will be presented at
El Tiradito Wishing Shrine • 418 S. Main Ave, Tucson, AZ 85701

border.
