A mysterious traveler named Flor appears in a field of California wildflowers overlooking the land immortalized by Steinbeck’s ‘Grapes of Wrath’. As she walks, generations of migrants – from the Dust Bowl to the present day – appear beside her. Their worlds and their voices collide. What happens when families from contemporary Mexico and 1930s Oklahoma speak, laugh, and work in the fields together? A story as unpredictable as a field of wildflowers, and as filled with color and life.
Una viajera misteriosa llamada Flor aparece en un prado de flores silvestres en California desde el cual se contemplan las tierras inmortalizadas en la novela “Las uvas de la Ira’ de Steinbeck. En su andar, generaciones de migrantes – desde la Cuenca de Polvo hasta el día de hoy – aparecen junto a ella. Sus mundos y sus voces entran en colisión.
¿Qué sucede cuando las familias de México contemporáneo y las familias de Oklahoma de la década de 1930 hablan, ríen, y trabajan juntos en los campos agrícolas? Una historia tan imprevisible como un prado de flores silvestres, e igualmente lleno de vida y color.

2012 Institute Summer Residency in Arvin, California
Cornerstone’s 9th annual Institute Summer Residency will take place in Arvin, California, an agricultural town in Kern County. From July 5 – August 5, Cornerstone staff and Institute students will live in the town and collaborate with Arvin residents to stage an original play.

Arvin is a town of about 15,000 residents- 92% of whom are Latino. It’s at the southern end of the San Joaquin Valley, about 15 miles SE of Bakersfield and 100 miles north of Los Angeles.
Clara & Jesus work on one of many community-generated murals.
Arvin has a small town feeling and is defined by its mostly agricultural identity. Carrots, table grapes and almonds are just a few of the crops grown here and eaten all over the country. Cotton is another popular local crop and has been for many years.
