Death of a Man: The Devil's Milk, Part One

The first installment of NWPL's "The Devil's Milk Trilogy," Death of a Man is a solo performance conceived by and featuring Colombian actor, long-time Akron resident, and NWPL Co-Artistic Director Jairo Cuesta. This piece, directed by University of Akron theatre professor and NWPL co-artistic director James Slowiak, seeks to lead the public on a quest for the sources of a city’s sorrow. Audiences will be transported to the Amazonian jungle, where countless indigenous men, women, and children were massacred in the mad search for natural rubber.
