Maceo Cabrera Estévez's multimedia performance Amor Cubano is a sexy, tongue-in-cheek exploration of modern culture's quest for a miracle cure. Plumbing her heritage as a Cuban-American, Estévez creates the character of Barbarita Perales, an ambitious and passionate woman who simply wants to make the world a better place. Her solution is a wonder product that's extracted like plasma from Cubans and exported around the world. The play, written like an earnest infomercial, is the directorial debut of actor Eric Aviles, a Chicago transplant who has appeared in numerous plays in the Midwest and the Bay Area.
