答疑：xyfxyfxyf123Josefina Lopez speaks with actor Rene Rivera about his one-man play. Called The King of the Desert, it deals with his struggles growing up in a barrio, or ghetto, in Texas near the U.S. border with Mexico.
"My neighborhood is buzzing with conjunto music, a distinctly Tex-Mex sound."
This is the kind of story Lopez wants to put on stage at her community theater, called Casa 0101. Casa is Spanish for "home." Zero-One-Zero-One refers to the digital bits and bytes of the information age.
She told an earlier immigrant story in Real Women Have Curves, an acclaimed play that became a successful film ten years ago. Lopez co-authored the screenplay and America Ferrera starred in the film.
"Are you gonna be working here full-time?"
"No. I'm just helping out my sister until I find a better job."
"Oh, me too. I'm just working here until I win the lottery."约瑟芬那·洛佩慈正和演员雷内·里维拉谈论他的一部独角戏-《沙漠之王》，讲述的是他如何在美国墨西哥交界处-德克萨斯州的贫民窟奋斗着成长的。
“我的邻里之间到处都是conjunto音乐，一种特别的美国墨西哥的混合音乐。”
正是这样一个故事，洛佩慈想要将其搬上社区剧院的舞台——Casa 0101。Casa在西班牙语里的意思是“家”，而在信息时代，0101指的是数字比特和字节。
早在电影《真女有形》中，她就已经讲述过移民故事。该电影在十年前大获赞赏非常成功。洛佩慈也参与了合作编剧，美国演员费雷拉也出演该剧。
“你打算把这份活当做全职工作么？”
“不，找到更好工作前，我只是暂时来这里帮我妹妹摆脱困境。”
“我也不，一中了彩票我就走人。”
