Alix Hudson has been a dynamic force in the Santa Fe theatre scene for the last eight years as a playwright, director, actor, and technician. Although most of her work has benefitted Teatro Paraguas where she is a board member, Alix has worked with many Santa Fe companies, including NM Actors Lab, Ironweed Productions, and &Sons Theatre.

Alix will soon be moving to Grand Rapids, Michigan, with her partner Sharla Stearn. To honor her huge contribution to Teatro Paraguas and Santa Fe theatre, videos of her critically acclaimed plays produced at Teatro Paraguas—Our Lady of Mariposas, Revolution, Atravesada, and Hummingbird—will be screened in a mini-festival July 23 to 25.

Atravesada: Poetry of the Border (2018) explores the physical and political U.S.-Mexico border as well as the Borderlands of the Self. Woven with corridos and other music of the frontera, Atravesada has plenty of humor, but also offers an unflinching portrait of the border as “una herida abierta” (an open wound). In addition to music, Atravesada weaves together the poetry and prose of more than a dozen poets, including the most famous of the genre: Gloria Anzaldúa, Cordelia Candelaria, Lorna Dee Cervantes, and Demetria Martinez. Directed by Alix Hudson.
