“I'm very much inspired by the Latin music, especially the romantic boleros. Not that when I sit to write a play I listen to boleros. But I think it's part of my DNA, it's part of my upbringing. I grew up in a house where this is the kind of music my parents used to listen to. This is the kind of music I would even hear in my neighborhood. I think that sort of romanticism is part of the culture.” ThinkingWritingKindCultureHouseParentInspiredNeighborhoodLatinUpbringingRomanticism Author:Nilo Cruz
“I was taught to lie at a young age. . . . I think that [A PARK IN OUR HOUSE] describes what people make out of their reality in a totalitarian system like Castro's. They take flight and move into the imagination in order to transcend their immediate reality. I had to write this play. It helped me understand my own loss of innocence.” PeopleThinkingWritingRealityAgeMovingLyingHouseImaginationLossFlightInnocenceLoss Of Innocence Author:Nilo Cruz
