–The Tropic of X“No one can stop me, cause I still got my tongue.” Tropic of X, by Latinx playwright Caridad Svich, is the story of Maura and Mori, two street kid lovers and arcade freaks who live in a touristed wasteland at the end of the alphabet. Maura and Mauri’s love is mythic quicksilver hope, a medicine for the toxicity of a cruel and unrelenting world. Maura and Mori, together with their friend Kiki, take refuge: in each other, in taunting tourists, in the next distraction, and in the chase of a consumerist dream, a numbing high, as they rage, seduce, and barter to survive the roaring tides of a place on the edge of collapse.
