Cara Mia Theatre and Soul Rep

Yanga

Cara Mía Theatre and Soul Rep Theatre in association with Mulato Teatro from Mexico present the English Language Premiere of Yanga.

Jaime Chabaud’s Yanga is inspired by the real-life story of Gaspar Yanga, an enslaved African Prince who led a rebellion and successfully negotiated an independent territory with the Spanish crown less than 100 years after the arrival of Hernán Cortés in Mexico. Translated to English for the first time, Yanga sheds light on the history of the Afro-Mexican experience. 

The project is a part of CMT’s and SRTC’s Cafe/Negro Series, a series of collaborations between the two companies that began in 1998 to bring Black and Brown voices together on Dallas stages. 

Yanga is a recipient of the TACA New Works Fund and the National Endowment for the Arts Fund.
