| Summary: | Tortilla Curtain is a short Chicano political theatre piece made of six actos, or short satirical scenes. It was performed in 1979 by Teatro del Piojo, a Chicano student theatre collective at the University of Washington in Seattle. It is mainly about the exploitation and oppression of Mexican and Chicano workers in the United States. The play attacks racism, immigration raids, border violence, labor exploitation, anti-Mexican stereotypes, and corporate abuse. It uses bilingual humor, songs, caricature, and satire rather than a single realistic plot. |
