​HEROES AND VILLAINS OF LATIN AMERICA

2nd Semester, 2013

​

This project was a collaboration between humanities and Spanish. In pairs, our team researched and wrote plays about different Latin American countries during the Cold War. We also wrote individual research papers about our assigned countries. Four plays (two from each class) were chosen to be produced and performed on exhibition night. My partner and I wrote a play about Chile in the mid 70's and we were fortunate enough to have our play picked by the teachers for production.



Incorporating Spanish into our characters' dialogue was not an easy task. It is difficult to match the flow of natural conversation in a foreign language. Luckily, there were many students and teachers willing to help out with translation and editing the Spanish lines in our script. They made our play feel so much more authentic and contributed to a wonderful final production.
