Boys of Rome

Discussion of the in-between, relating to cultural hybridism in the States. 

A dialogue I desire to elicit is the implications of growing up as a first or second-generation Mexican American or Latine in the U.S. Culturally, there are various implications when parents leave a country and establish themselves in the U.S. Some parents will continue to embrace their culture, whereas; others may not and refrain from embracing their roots, such as not teaching their children their language. The children of immigrants become a paradox. We are neither from here nor there. There's an expression for it in Spanish, "Ni de aquí, ni de allá." 

I want this work to reflect children becoming into their person, regardless of expectations from either Latine or American culture.
