La Marea
"While Manu largely improvised on the story of my Colombian mother, evoking the texture and feel of the Andes, I wanted “La Marea” to speak to my father, and those like him who emigrated from Cuba to the US from 1959-1960, forever inhabiting the memory of a homeland that no longer existed. The image thatrepeatedly came to mind was that of the proverbial raft, of being alone adrift sea. I can imagine the internal struggle: anchoring oneself to memories of the past while hoping, desperately so, to be reborn on foreign land. That singular combination of grief and faith that brings someone to surrender to inevitable change. It’s the story of migration and transform"
