Glass Half Full presents Frutos de la Muerte
A workshop production from Glass Half Full Theatre
November 1 – 15, 2025Los Frutos de la Muerte follows two estranged, Guatemalan half-sisters cleaning up a deceased tía Adela’s apartment to avoid a huge fine. Ixq’anil, a janitor, wants to chemically clean the place because they don’t know what killed Adela. Isabela, a curandera, wants to cleanse the space with herbs so they don’t disturb her aunt’s spirit. As the fight gets to a rotten place, they unearth an old journal with extensive properties of various fungi intertwined with their family histories, upending the family history they knew. Will they finish the task in time without killing each other? And where is that smell coming from?!
Glass Half Full Theatre innovates performance structure and audience experience with original works featuring humans and puppets. Our work elevates environmental and social justice issues with a focus on Latiné communities. Our bilingual performances cross linguistic and cultural boundaries towards the heart of the imagination, where artists and audiences examine how oppressive power structures work and how they can be overcome.
