Evelina Fernandez and Jose Luis Valenzuela speaks with LaFern Cusack about the Latino Theater Company’s 25th Anniversary production of "La Victima." The Latino Theater Company proudly presents its 25th Anniversary production, a revival of its very first show, “La Victima.” It’s a story that spans four decades, telling the tale of two families, the Villas and the Mendozas. It begins during the Great Depression and continues through later troubled economic times. Immigrant families come to the U.S.A. to relieve the suffering of chronic poverty, to find employment, to work hard, to become educated, to fall in love, to get married, to build new homes and better lives for their loved ones. Some people arriving here do so through the established legal channels. Some get to the U.S.A. through alternate means.
Mexicans and Mexican-Americans find themselves in demand in the U.S. as a source of cheap, exploitable labor. But they find that they do not enjoy the same working conditions and job security as their neighbors. When the Latinos try to organize into unions to secure workers’ rights, they find themselves subject to reprisals, including deportation.
Some join the military, conjecturing that this may be a route to equality, though a disproportionate segment of their number emerge as casualties. Most devastating to the Villa and Mendoza families is the inconsistently applied, inhumane immigration policy. It becomes even more apparent after one of their number becomes a U.S. government immigration enforcement agent. At this point in the history of the U.S., immigration is still a hot-button issue, with certain political factions calling for the repeal of the 14th Amendment, which guarantees citizenship rights to those born on U.S. soil. Originally created in 1976 by the theater collective El Teatro De La Esperanza, “La Victima” couldn’t possibly be more timely.
Jose Luis Valenzuela, artistic director of the Latino Theater Company, directs the new production in the trademark Latino Theater Company style, infusing serious material with humor, music and big dance numbers. The show stars longtime company members J Ed Araiza, Evelina Fernandez, Sal Lopez, Lupe Ontiveros, Geoffrey Rivas and Lucy Rodriguez and also Luis Aldana, Alexia de la Rocha, Olivia Cristina Delgaro and Oliver Rayon. Choreography: Urbanie Lucero. Musicians: Cita, and Ricardo Ochoa. The action of the show includes scenes set in both the U.S.A. and Mexico. Consequently, while much of the show is in English, there will also be sequences performed in Spanish (and also Spanglish). The songs will also be performed in Spanish. Spanish sequences will be accompanied by English supertitles. The compelling immediacy of the subject matter contradicts the notion that this is not a brand-new work. That is how it is.

Delay is responsible for the company’s business development and operations. A veteran sales and marketing professional, he is also in charge of maintaining communications with museums, science centers, licensors and the American Exhibitions team of curators, scientists, designers and associates.Delay’s work has resulted in Mummies of the World, the largest traveling exhibition of mummies and related artifacts ever assembled, debuting in Los Angeles at the California Science Center on July 1, 2010.
Delay began researching this exhibition in 2007, following the German Mummy Project’s amazing rediscovery of 20 mummies within the Reiss-Engelhorn Museums (REM) in Mannheim, Germany. He visited the REM in 2008, hoping to bring that extraordinary find to American audiences, and embarked on an amazing journey that culminates with the Mummies of the World premiere. After Los Angeles, the exhibition will travel to several other major U.S. cities over the course of its three-year engagement.
For Delay, the real measure of success for this groundbreaking exhibition is the opportunity it represents for audiences to learn about history and culture, and to use modern science tools to bring the past and the modern day a little closer together. The stories of these mummies are both unique and universal, and this exhibition brings their experiences of centuries ago into the present. He believes that this project is the most spectacular and important project of his career to date. Delay was born in Huntington Station, N.Y., and resides in Boynton Beach, Fla. Mummies of the World is a ticketed event and requires a timed-entry. Advance reservations are highly recommended. Tickets can be purchased online at www.californiasciencecenter.org or by calling 323-SCIENCE (323-724-3623).
