GIVE NOW
Two works. One extraordinary storyteller.
She survives by telling stories.
Then she makes the story her own.
Born into poverty and loss, Eva Luna has one thing the world can’t take from her: her imagination.
Enter Isabel Allende’s vivid, magical world as Eva encounters love, danger, revolution, artists, outcasts—and a society determined to decide who she should be. Echo Theatre and Teatro Dallas join forces for the regional premiere of Caridad Svich’s Eva Luna, a theatrical adventure filled with magical realism, live music, and a heroine who refuses to disappear.
November 6–22 at the Latino Cultural Center
Directed by Gabriel Scampini
In English with Spanish subtitles

Eva Luna by Caridad Svich
adapted from a novel by ISABEL ALLENDE
November 6-22, 2026
A co-production of Echo Theatre and Teatro Dallas
A lover asks for a story. Eva Luna gives him a world.
Years after learning to survive through the power of her imagination, Eva Luna is telling stories again—this time for an audience of one.
In Stephanie Oustalet’s new two-person adaptation of Isabel Allende’s The Stories of Eva Luna, Eva spins tales for her lover, Rolf Carlé: stories of desire, danger, revenge, ghosts, impossible love, and lives transformed in an instant.
With two actors and live music, Allende’s magical world becomes intimate, playful, sensual, and a little dangerous.
