SANCTUARY CITY
The Attic Theater, Ruth Taylor Theater Building, Trinity University
San Antonio, TX
Trinity University's Department of Human Communication and Theatre opens its 60th theatrical season with SANCTUARY CITY by Martyna Majok, with performances running October 3 through 11, in the Attic Theater.
SANCTUARY CITY is a raw and urgent story of two undocumented teenagers fighting for love, safety, and a future in a country that promises protection, but often fails to deliver it. Set in post-9/11 Newark, the play unfolds through nonlinear moments within a nondeterministic reality, capturing the disorientation and uncertainty of lives lived in the in-between spaces of contemporary society. In this production, shaped by the ProbabilisticStages approach, SANCTUARY CITY becomes a live system of shifting meaning, where every gesture, pause, and presence creates new emotional realities in the moment of performance. The stage is stripped of superimposed meaning and becomes a charged field of possibility. Here, meaning is not prescripted; it emerges, collapses, and re-forms in real timea theatre of discovery, not repetition.
SANCTUARY CITY is directed by Roberto Prestigiacomo, with scenic design by Martha Peñaranda, costumes by Kellie Grengs, lighting by Lydia Beseth and Carlos R. Nine, and technical direction by Nicholes Hernandez.
