About

University of Minnesota – This behind-the-scenes video provides insight and contextual information on the production of “Night Train to Bolina,” performed February through March, 2009 at the Rarig Center. Join young Mateo and Clara as they hop on the “Night Train to Bolina”: a fantasy city where lost kites go, far from their rural village in Latin America. Cuban-born playwright Nilo Cruz explores an unidentified country in the midst of guerilla warfare through the eyes of two children walking the line between innocent fiction and bitter reality. With its imaginative use of storytelling, “Night Train to Bolina” is an adventure in youth, mysticism, and love. Film by Stuart Gates, Sean Nolan, Courtney Sheffield, and Leiah Stevermer.
