desaparecidAS

Book by Georgina Escobar Music by Jaime Lozano Lyrics by Jaime Lozano & Florencia Cuenca
Picture
A musical inspired by the stories of women from the borderlands, specifically, those who have disappeared. From the missing, to the socially invisible, to the forgotten, and the ones lost in their past, Desaparecidas takes place in a classic and timeless Mexican state fair (a Palenque) where the audience experiences the "appearance" of the stories and women as summoned by our narrator: the famous (and deceased) Mexican singer Jenni Rivera. ​

Little  duende

Book and Lyrics by Georgina Escobar  Music and Lyrics by Robi Hager
Picture
Picture
Adelita is a curious and clumsy teenage duende (elf) eager to find what lies beyond the horizon and an outsider in her mythological land of Elflán. When the evil spirit of La Mancha kidnaps her mother and destroys her home, Adelita is forced to travel north in the company of a God of the Yesteryear toward the land of the Hadaseñas. But when she crosses a wall made of human remains, she realizes that the North, and her entire existence, is not at all what she'd imagined. A dark adult musical fairytale about the myths we create around grief and the terrible things that hide behind the illusion of dreams, Little Duende explores the border crisis, dual citizenship, and the responsibility of all of us who have the gift of "freedom."

ZOONGORO: A MEXICAN MUSICAL TALE (or All Strings Considered) 
Book & Lyrics by Georgina Escobar 
Music & Lyrics by Zenén Zeferino Huervo
Workshop/Trunk show productions 2017-2019 for New York City's public schools.
A young Mexican girl in Queens wanting to try out for the school's talent show featuring her recently deceased father's music is ridiculed at try outs for her accent, language, and heritage. The "weird music"— Son Jarocho—the typical music of Veracruz, Mexico—is not seen as cool among her friends...After a series of encounters with the school bullies, she decides to immerse herself in her father's story (based on musical composer's book "Zoongoro Bailongo") as she reminds the people of her school, that music is indeed, the universal language.
