Synopsis: Doña Flor and Her Two Husbands, adapted by Carmen Aguirre from Jorge Amado’s novel, follows a Brazilian woman torn between two men—her devoted but dull second husband and the sensual ghost of her deceased first. Set in 1940s Brazil, this vibrant, site-specific production blends music, dance, and Carnival spectacle across two venues. Produced by Electric Company Theatre with Latino collaborators, it’s an immersive, sensual exploration of desire, culture, and identity that invites the audience into Flor’s transformative journey between the material and spiritual worlds.
