CHASING PAPELES
Written and Directed by Andrea Almario
Co-Directed by Aureen Almario
Bindlestiff Studio proudly brings Chasing Papeles to light, exploring the undocumented Filipina immigrant experience in the heart of the SOMA Pilipinas Cultural District
Bindlestiff Studio’s Chasing Papeles brings to light the largely hidden and unspoken experiences of undocumented Filipina immigrants. Through spoken word, music, movement, and shadow puppetry, Chasing Papeles vividly reflects on the hopes, dreams and disillusions of chasing the American Dream. Primarily set in a senior care home in the San Francisco SOMA district, Chasing Papeles presents the highly relevant experiences of undocumented immigrants in the heart of the SOMA Pilipinas Cultural Heritage District.
Written and directed by Andrea Almario as her thesis play at the UC Berkeley Department of Theater, Dance and Performance Studies, Chasing Papeles touches upon topics still incredibly pertinent to today’s American society and culture. Even more locally, recent cases of human trafficking, exploitation, and sexual assault of undocumented workers in the Bay Area offer a revealing glimpse into the underlying injustices and dangers that threaten undocumented immigrants in the most unexpected corners.
