“Rojas weaves together a tapestry of magical realism, Mexican mythology and authentic immigrant experience in a highly stylized framework that explores the demands of familial love and the generational divide between "Dreamers" and those who carried them to the promised land.”

- Chloe Rabinowitz, Broadway World

​

"The tale and its telling are both deeply moving and deeply funny, containing reflections on crossing borders, familial drama and the nature of love."

- Allegra Hobbs, AMNY
