The Mathematics of Love takes place in the lobby of the Los Angeles Biltmore Hotel at the turn into the 21st century. Peaches, an aging (and mid-staged Alzheimer’s) Mexican woman and her Anglo husband, Poppa, are awaiting the arrival of their out-of-town son, "God,” who is to throw an anniversary party for them. Enter the 16th century Native female slave-turned-slaveholder, MalinXe, wearing red lipstick and sunglasses with “a small pyramid of Louis Vuitton luggage” trailing behind her. Her satirical presence digs up the dirt of a Tongva landscape, the nagging disquiet of those “Old San Gabriel Mission Days,” and an unreconciled story between mother and daughter. In Peaches’ time-traveling re-encounter with MalinXe, she is forced to concede a radically revised ledger on her life; its loves and losses -- the sum of a 500-years of colonization.

The Mathematics of Love performs May 5-8, 2016 in Nitery Theater.
