Our Dad is in Atlantis is a funny, tender story of two young brothers left in Mexico by their widowed father who’s gone to the U.S. to find work. In the care of relatives they barely know, the boys are forced to rely on each other for the emotional and physical support that, as children, they are wholly unequipped to provide. Their journey of premature independence leads them to a naïve attempt to navigate the impassable distance between them and the father who seems to have abandoned them. Written by Mexican Playwright
