In “De Novo," Houses on the Moon Theater Company weaves together court transcripts, interviews, letters and other documentary sources to reconstruct the gripping and poignant true story of Edgar, a case whose outcome prompted an international outcry and fundamental reconsideration about the welfare of “alien” minors in immigration custody. The play is performed in English and Spanish by an international cast who have been lauded for their work on Broadway, Off Broadway, throughout Latin America and in film and television. The production is augmented with the harrowing images of award-winning photojournalist Donna Decesare, who is widely known for her coverage of gangs in Central America and Los Angeles. The play has been presented widely around the U.S. as a professional training tool for lawyers and law students around issues specific to migrant youth, and in El Salvador as a tool to connect impoverished youth with support resources.
