New Theatre Habit post! Absolutely loved Capital Stage’s production of Espejos: Clean.
Director Dena Martinez creates a dreamy, atmospheric emotional landscape where memory, grief, and misunderstanding seem to drift just beneath the surface. The production feels suspended in that hazy space between connection and isolation, allowing even quiet moments to carry an almost unbearable emotional weight. #sactheatre #theater #sacramento #capstage
