Blanca & Ines
By Cusi Cram
Directed by Estefanía Fadul

With Silvia Dionicio and Ani Mesa-Perez

Two young Latinas lock eyes at a Greenwich Village party in 1954—and the world tilts. Blanca is a razor-sharp bartender who’s weary of struggling to be a painter and is looking for a ring and a powerful man. Ines is a Cuban seamstress with an open heart and big artistic dreams. What begins as flirtation becomes a doomed duet—mentorship, rivalry, and seduction ensue—all played out in Greenwich Village in the cold water flats and ateliers where post war American art is being invented. 

Blanca & Ines is an unsentimental love story about women who want everything—and the cost of ambition in a world that fears women’s talents and desires. It asks how art gets made, who is allowed to make it, and what women sacrifice to be seen.

Blanca & Ines is a co-production between LAByrinth Theater Company & The Sol Project.
