Cuban-Venezuelan-American playwright Yara Travieso's new musical El Ciclón is a wild, neo-feminist saga within a 1950s B-movie psychological thriller, featuring singing, dancing and just enough alligators to keep things interesting.

El Ciclón tells the story of a woman stranded with her car in the swampy South during a harsh storm. With music from acclaimed composer, librettist and TDPS faculty member Sam Crawford, El Ciclón is a unique and innovative production that combines cinema with live theater for an immersive, original exploration of what it takes for us to connect with the land and with each other.
