Fandango For Butterflies and Coyotes Tickets

Fandango For Butterflies and Coyotes is a immersive, music-driven performance created by playwright Andrea Thome and directed by José Zayas, with original music by Sinuhé Padilla and contributions from Tania Mesa. Produced by En Garde Arts, this piece blends documentary storytelling with live performance to explore the experiences of undocumented immigrants. The world premiere took place in New York City at La MaMa (Ellen Stewart Theatre) in February 2020, featuring a dynamic cast including Jen Anaya, Silvia Dionicio, Carlo Albán, and Roberto Tolentino. The work has since traveled to the West Coast with a 2022 run at La Jolla Playhouse, and has been presented at Penn State and other venues as part of site-specific tours.
