La Víctima, (The Victim), is a moving play depicting one family's history that is representative of the cycle of immigration by Mexican-Americans throughout the United States in the 20th century. A classic in Chicano theater tradition, La Víctima is performed in the bilingual performance style (a blend of both Spanish and English) that Teatro Vivo is most noted for producing. La Víctima, captivates audiences with its vivid characters, corridos mexicanos (Mexican ballads) and stirring historical facts. The story personalizes the impact of policy and attitudes toward immigrants portraying a family ripped apart by US and Mexican immigration policies that impacted over three million migrants in the Southwest. These are pressing themes that are still relevant to the present time. Teatro Vivo’s production reminds us that history is never too far from the present.
