In Florida the water is rising, the climate is changing, and Flor and her children are looking to get theirs before it all goes to shit. Inspired by Bertolt Brecht’s Mother Courage and Her Children, and intended to be performed in slow rising water, Flor Underwater is a not-too-distant-future re-imagining of America’s loopiest state in crisis as its rednecks, Cubans, Miccosukee Indians, and Mar O Lagans struggle to claim a piece of the state they call home…or what’s left of it.
Flor Underwater is a nightmare, yes, but it is above anything else a love song to Florida herself.
