from Part IV - Legacy
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 27 August 2025
Luis Alfaro’s encounter with Fornés at the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles inspired him to begin writing plays. In the decades since, Alfaro has become one of the most produced and most studied Chicano playwrights in the US. Here, he reflects on the interlocking webs of artistic community charted by those who carry with them Fornés’s influence as an artist and as a teacher. He also contemplates what it means to carry the Fornésian legacy through his own practice as a playwright, teacher, and community-builder.
