Freely translated as "Where are you from?" the title of the play refers to the increasing tide of undocument- ed immigrants who flee north to the United States from the economically and politically oppressed countries of Latin America. Seeking jobs and freedom from persecution, the refugees are, more often than not, met with indifference and even hostility, regardless of their circumstances, and deported back to their home countries—which can often mean certain death. A moving plea for understanding and forbearance, the play also becomes, in the end, a sear- ing indictment of this nation's immigration policies and a disturbing reminder of the terri- ble toll which these can exact, whether intentionally or not.
