Theater for the New City will present the World Premiere of SOTTO VOCE written & directed by Nilo Cruz from Sat Feb 15 to March 9. "Sotto Voce" is a dream play in which a passionate, Jewish-Cuban young man (Saquiel) sets out to recover memories of the S.S. St. Louis which, in 1939, left Nazi Germany for Cuba filled with Jewish refugees but was turned back by Cuba, the U.S. and Canada.  The young man's grandaunt was on the voyage.  Saquiel assumes the place of her lost lover in her powerful imagination. They both begin to fantasize a metaphysical love affair in which they share the conundrum of coming to grips with memories of that "voyage of the damned." The play was commissioned by Theater for the New City, with support from the New York State Council on the Arts. The production has also received a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.  The production will feature Franca Barchiesi, Andhy Mendez & Arielle Jacobs.  Set design is by Adrian Jones, Lighting design is by Alexander Bartenieff,  Sound design is by Erik Lawson & Costume design is by Anita Yavich.
