  Santiago – a young Latino – engages in a quiet internal struggle to navigate the social systems of machismo and violence which he daily confronts. Set in the evening at a tranquil public park, this is a play that powerfully speaks through its silences and asks, “what is a hard and soft manhood?” while touching on the larger human experiences of isolation and gender socialization.
