house of sueños
~ a five episode audio drama ~
"cuando te vas te quedas"
Five years after their papi Luis' disappearance, sisters Rina and Ameila prepare to celebrate Mom’s marriage to their new Stepdad. But when Amelia tells her sister of the mysterious voice and shadowy figure she saw in the attic last night it’s clear that not all in this house is as it seems. Now, Rina and Amelia must protect their own minds and hearts while navigating the lies and truths which cloud their family’s history and threaten to drown them all.
house of sueños is a gripping and magically poetic family drama drawn from the Bard’s most famous tragedy and playwright Meme García’s own life story. Told over a five episode arc Spanish and English are interwoven with Shakespeare’s Hamlet and García’s imagistic language in this multilingual audio drama about family, mental health, and the power of dreams.
