Anna in the Tropics
By Nilo Cruz
Director's Concept
Ofeila says to Marela, “That’s why the writer describes love as a thief. The thief is the
mysterious fever that poets have been studying for years.” For me the play is all about the love for
something (change, companionship, art, work, etc.) that humanity struggles for, and that ultimately
is that “stolen” aspect of who and what we are as individuals. It is Cruz’s words, characters, and the
relationship that these characters have with the story Anna Karenina that is the catalyst for their
love. It is a political love, a self-love, a love of someone else, and a love for change that drives
these characters to create their own endings.
Cruz remarked in one of his interviews that, “Cuba has changed tremendously. I have
changed, too. I guess sometimes I fear what the impact of going back would be on me.” This is a
perfect example of each character in the play. Conceptually, change is ultimately the downfall or
co-requisite to the love that these characters emote internally and externally. It becomes the
underlying motivation for the story (i.e. the introduction of the cigar roller versus the work of the
individual, the fact that “lectores” were removed from factories in 1931, and Conchita’s need to be
loved physically versus watching her husband have what she does not).
In evoking the lost Cuban-American world of Ybor, Florida cigar factory in the late 1920’s,
I want to create a production that is as “novela-like” as the emotions and tribulations as its
characters. Anna in the Tropics creates characters that struggle for the philosophical need to know,
to understand, and to solve the problem of self-existence. It also creates an evolution and
realization of the power of art--how art can alter the beat, the murmurs, and the energy of the human
heart. As Cruz himself even said, it is like that old saying, “I read this book, and it changed the way
I see the world, or I saw this movie, and it changed my life.” What is the true power of language
and of words?
To answer this question, I feel that it is necessary to overlap Spanish and English as the
presentational languages in this play. It is important for me to make the audience struggle to
interpret language and story within this production, in the same way that the characters struggle
with understanding Cheché as the “Cuban-American” and a progressive thinker. I want the native
English speakers to feel uncomfortable having to read the Spanish super-titles, and the Spanish
speakers to feel the same ambiguity of understanding through the text itself. Language and words
or el idioma y las palabras are what change our lives—this is universal.
Cruz's writing needs to be supported by a stage design that allow for the movement of the
language and story, first-and-foremost. I am thinking of a space that would put the audience in
Ybor in 1929. I want an environment that ultimately evokes the smell,.

Due thursday 18th
I have selected the two works of art for you. You can choose 3 articles, use the articles from the journal you are doing now. The works of art I have choosed are attached. Talk about it as the instructions ask you to and reflect on it with 3 readings that you think are appropriate, the readings are the same articles for the journals. You can use any 3 from all the days (june 2, 3, etc). i'm gonna write things i observe in the paper so you include them, but please add as much of your own observations as well and research you find. Please make sure to answer all the instructions she asks for in the prompt or she wont give me an A if I miss anything. THANK YOU!!! :)
1. border fence. I grew up in the border city of Mexicali, Baja california. and I crossed the border every day until 1 was 17 and moved to san diego. I studied in the american town across the border, calexico, so I could learn english. fortunately for me, I was born in san diego so crossing the border was never an issue for me. i never had to deal with visas, permits, etc. As i grew older i learned about the many lives that are affected by this man-made division that separates two countries. I would see the deported people from mexico, as well as from south america ask for money to the cars waiting in the border line, most of them wash cars for money. In this photograph I see the men dressed exactly like all the laborers dress. It is very realistic. And the fence has holes in it. The men are standing in the dirt looking over through peep holes, trying to get a glimpse of the dreamed of
Estados Unidos.
I think the artist purposely takes the photograph at an angle to emphasize the length of the fence to shed light on the challenge it poses to people trying to cross over. The fact that the men are looking over tells me that they have hope, otherwise I think they would be trying to earn a living in their present country. I think the artist chose to keep the picture in black and white, because the real life situation he is showing the world is not a happy one. It looks more serious that way.
2. Seated woman:
This work reminds me of the art works we saw in class with the many mothers, where they all all appeared fatigued. It was a realistic portrayal of motherhood, more than the idealized ones we are used to. In this work, the women are seated. it looks to me like they are resting from a busy day. Their hair is up and they do not seem to be dressed up or glamourous in any way. Their hairs are up and the clothing they are wearing is very simple, like what a laborer would wear. They are also seating on the ground, which is where laborers would seat in a particular country like Mexico. It is not a custom for middle or high class people to sit on the floor. the woman in the background has what looks to me like a woven basket next to her leg, so she could have been doing manual labor there on the floor, or who knows; its just an observation. both women have their hands on.

2. I WANT TO ADD A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF
AS A CRITIC AND HOW THE WAY I VIEW
MYSELF. I TRY AND SEE EVERYTHING AS
OPEN AS POSSIBLE AND I WANT TO BE
ABLE TO SEE ARTISTS. SPECIFICALLY WITH
MEXICAN AMERICAN ART.
LIKES TO GO OUT AND EAT
INTO SKINCARE AND LOVES
SELFCARE
WANTS TO OWN A RAGDOLL

3. VIEWS" WOMAN WATING FOR HER
CHECK"
BY: JAY LYNN GOMEZ
THIS PIECE IS ONE OF THREE IN A
COLLECTION BUT THIS ONE SPECIFICALLY
STOOD OUT TO ME. THE BODY LANGUAGE OF
THE WOMEN GIVES ME THE VIBE OF FEELING
MISPLACED. EVERYTHING LOOKS INPLACE BUT
THE WOMEN. I BELIEVE THAT THE AKWARD
PLACEMENT OF THE WOMEN ALSO SIGNIFIES
HOW THE WOMEN OCCUPIES THE PLACE BUT
DOESN'T FIT WHERE SHE IS AT.
4. IF WE TAKE A LOOK AT THE
OTHER ACRYLIC PAINTINGS IN
THIS COLLECTION WE CAN SEE
THE SIMILARITIES IN THEM. FOR
EXAMPLE, ITS THREE DIFFERENT
PEOPLE BUT ALL OF THEM LOOK
OUT OF PLACE, AND IT'S THE
COLOR OF THE BACKGROUND THAT
MAKES THEM STAND OUT. THE
BACKGROUND BEING OF LIGHTER
SHADES SPECIFICALLY THE RANGE
BEING WHITES, AND GRAYS.
5. THE WAY IT MADE ME FEEL IS
SEEN BECAUSE I WOULD GET TO
SEE IT FIRSTHAND WITH MY
MOM. I BRUNG UP MEMORIES
THAT I HAVEN'T THOUGHT
ABOUT FOR A LONG TIME.
GENERALLY SPEAKING, I WAS
TOLD TO STAY IN ONE STOP
WHILE MY MOM CLEANED
SOMEONE'S HOUSE THAT WAS
MUCH NICER THAN OUR OWN.
I'M GRATEFUL FOR THOSE LITTLE
MOMENTS BECAUSE THEY
SHOWED ME HOW MUCH MY
MOM DID FOR US AND HER HARD
WORK.
I BELIEVE THAT JAMIE LYNN
GARCIA SUCCEDED IN MAKING ME
FEEL SEEN AND MAKING OTHER
PEOPLE FEEL SEEN WITH HER
WORK. THE WAY SHE USED COLOR
SCHEMES TO EMPHASIZE CERTAIN
DETAILS IS AMAZING. TO A
CERTAIN EXTENT I THINK ALL ART
IS ORIGINAL WHILE SOME IDEAS
MAY INSPIRE. I BELIEVE THAT
JAMIE LYNNS GARICAS WORK IS
ORIGINAL HER INSPIRATION IS HER
LIFE AND THE LIFE THAT MANY
FIRST GEN MEXICAN AMERICANS
LIVE THOUGH.
6. " FLOR IN LANDON'S ROOM "
BY: JAY LYNN GOMEZ
I BELEIVE THAT THE SUBJECT OF
THE PAINTING CAN BE DEFINED AS
CHILDCARE TO SOMEONE ELSE'S
BABY OTHER THAN YOUR OWN.
7. THE WAY THAT JAMIE LYNN POSTIONS
EVERYTHING IS PART OF THE PICTURE. IF
YOU LOOK AT THE PAINTED YOU CAN SEE ALL
THE DETIAL THAT IS GOING INTO IT. THE
PLACEMENT OF THE LETTERS AND THE
FURNITURE IS ALL TIED TOGETHER. SHE PUT
THOSE ITEMS IN THE DIFFRINTUATE THAT
SHE WAS THERE TAKING TAKE OF A KID
THAT ISNT HERS.
8. IF I COULD SAY SOME OF THE QUALITIES IT
HAS IT WOULD BE SAD. I THINK IT SHOWS
THE DISCONNECT THAT SOME FIRST GEN
MEXICAN AMERICANS FEEL WITH THEIR MOM.
IT SHOWS HOW WHEN YOUR GROWING UP
WITHOUT A MOM EVEN THOUGH PHYSICALLY
SHE'S THERE BUT NOT ENOUGH TO BE
EMOTIONALLY THERE.
THE EMOTIONAL TOLL IT TAKES ON MOTHERS
AND CHILDREN IS HARD. THE FEELING OF
BEING GRATEFUL THAT YOUR MOM HAS A
JOB, AND NOT WANTING TO CAUSE ANY
TROUBLE BECAUSE YOUR MOM HAS TO WORK.
9. MY OVERALL THOUGHTS ON THIS PIECE IS THAT IT SHOWS THE EMOTIONAL SIDE OF
BEING A FIRST-GENERATION MEXICAN AMERICAN CHILD. THE SACRIFICES THAT OUR
PARENTS MAKE AND THE LASTING EFFECTS THAT IT HAS ON US. WHILE THE IDEA IS
GOOD ITS NOT NESSARLY ORIGINAL BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOREVER. BUT
SHE TURNED AROUND AND MADE IT RELATED TO OUR EXPERIENCE AND FOR THAT I'M
GRATEFUL. I THINK THATS WHAT MAKES IT A SUCCESSFUL PAINTING FOR ME.
10. " ARBOL DE LA VIDA " JOHN DEER MODEL
#790
BY:MARGARITA CABRERA
SO THIS WORK WAS DISPLAYED AT
THE FINE ARTS MUSEUM IN HOUSTON.
AND CAN I JUST SAY WHEN YOU
WALKED UP TO THE GALLERY IT WAS
SUCH AN EYE-CATCHER, THE DETAILS
WERE ONE OF A KIND. SOME
BUTTERFLIES AND FLOWERS WERE
SCULPTED WITH SUCH GRACE. I
BELIEVE THAT THE SCULPTURE WAS
DONE WITH CLAY AND I COULDNT
TOUCH IT BUT IT LOOKED SMOOTH
AND THE WAY IT WAS PRESENTED WAS
BEYOND AMAZING.
11. WHEN ENTERING THE PART OF
THE MUSEUM THE WAY THE
SCULPTURE WAS PLACED I THINK
IS VERY TELLING OF HOW THEY
WANTED IT TO BE VIEWED. THE
SPACE AROUND IT WAS
COMPLETELY EMPTY AND THE
FIRST TIME YOU COULD SEE WAS
THE SCULPTURE.
THE POINT OF EMPHASIS WAS
DEFINITELY THE BUTTERFLIES AND
THE FLOWERS. THE WAY ALL THE
CONCEPTS WERE PUT TOGETHER I
THINK SIGNIFIES THE WAY THAT
MEXICAN IMMIGRANTS BLOOM
THE AGRICULTURE IN THE
COUNTRY.
12. THE WAY I WOULD DESCRIBE THIS TYPE OF WORK
I WOULD SAY IT SHOWS SINCERITY AND IS
SOMEWHAT IRONIC. I SAY THAT BECAUSE
GENERALLY SPEAKING PEOPLE WHO WORK OR HAVE
WORKED IN AGRICULTURE DOING LABOR WITH
MACHINES ARE HISPANICS.
THE EXPERIENCE IT BRINGS UP FOR ME IS
MY GRANDPARENTS WORKING IN THE FIELD
DURING A HOT DAY IN THE SUMMER. AND
BEING LEFT WITH MY COUSINS MY
GRANPARENTS WOULDN'T BE HOME UNTIL 2
OR 3 IN THE AFTERNOON. APPERICATIONING
THE TIME I GOT TO SPEND WITH THEM
BECAUSE I ONLY GOT TO VISIT ONCE A
YEAR.
13. I THINK THE QUALITIES THAT MAKE THIS
PIECE SUCCESSFUL ARE THE WAY IT PAYS
ATTENTION TO NATURE AND THE WAY IT
CALLS FOR ITEMS TO GROW. IT TELLS A
STORY THAT YOU WOULDNT KNOW UNLESS
YOU HAVE LIVED THROUGH SOMETHING
SIMILAR TO THE PIECE.
I THINK SOME CRITERIA I WOULD
GIVE ANOTHER CRITICER WOULD
BE TO LOOK AT THE SMALL
DETAILS IN THE BUTTERFLIES.
IMAGINE WALKING THROUGH A
FIELD AND SMELLING THE AIR.
DON'T JUST THINK ABOUT IT
BEING A TRACTOR BECAUSE ITS
MUCH MORE.
15. IN THESE PIECES OF ART SHE USED CERAMIC
TILES, ACRYLIC PAINT, AND INK TO ACHIEVE
THE LOOK. I WANT TO SAY THAT SHE DOES A
PERFECT JOB AT COMBINING OLD-SCHOOL
ELEMENTS TO HER WORK. THE WAY SHE USED
OLD-STYLE PHOTOS THAT ARE ICONIC TO THE
GENERATION BEFORE US. THE ELEMENTS PLAY
WELL INTO EACH OTHER AND THEY GIVE US
THE IMAGE OF BEING BROUGHT BACK INTO A
MUCH BRIGHTER TIME. I FEEL THAT THE
IMAGES ARE OUT OF NOSTALGIA FOR THE
2000S AND AS OF NOW, THAT IS ALL THE
RAGE.
16. SOME SIGNIFICANT POINT THAT I WANT TO BRING UP IS THE
USE OF HER FAMILY IN THE PHOTOS. SHE USED HER AUNTS
AND HER UNCLE. I THINK THAT THE WILLINGNESS SHOWS
THE LOVE THAT THEY HAVE FOR HER ART AND THE
GRATFULLNESS SHE HAS FOR THOSE PEOPLE IN HER LIFE
BECAUSE WE KNOW HOW IN FAMILY
WE ARE ALWAYS GOING TO BE
RELIANT ON EACH OTHER.
17. THE WAY THAT THESE PIECES MAKE
ME FEEL IS WARM INSIDE... I FEEL
THIS WAY BECAUSE IT REMINDS ME
OF ME AND MY AUNTS AND HOW
BEFORE I MOVED TO TEXAS I WAS
ALWAYS OVER AT THEIR HOUSES AND
HOW WE WOULD HAVE FUN WHEN MY
MOM WAS WORKING.
18. I THINK THAT THE ELEMENT OF IT'S REFERENCE TO THE 2000S
PICTORIALS IS WHAT I THINK MAKES IT A SUCCESS IN MY EYES.
ESPECIALLY NOW IN A TIME WHERE YOUNG ADULTS GRAVITATE
TOWARDS THOSE TYPES OF THEMES. IF I COULD RECOMMEND
SOME TYPE OF CRITICISM TO OTHER PEOPLE VIEWING THESE
PIECES IT WOULD BE TO TRY AND IMAGINE YOURSELF TAKING
THESE PHOTOS.
