A local theater explores themes of immigration and identity.

Aguijón Theater of Chicago in the Belmont-Cragin neighborhood on the northwest side has kicked off its 21st season with its first stage production since halting operations due to the pandemic. "La Gran Tirana" explores the idea of immigrant identity as it follows the journey of Ana Morgana, an immigrant who transcends her own reality by imagining herself to be the Cuban diva La Lupe.
