The Deportee’s Wife

a play by Giselle Stern Hernández

When: Monday, November 16 at noon
Where: INTS 1113
Free admission
Facilitated Q&A after the show


In this solo show, Giselle Stern Hernández 's marriage is laid out on  
the front lines of the North American
immigration debate. Giselle's husband Roberto was deported from  
Chicago, Illinois back to Mexico in April
of 2001.  Giselle moved to Mexico to live with him in August of that  
same year.  While she was born and
raised in the States, and they were legally married, it didn't make a  
difference at all; her husband was
deported anyway, with the order to stay out of the U.S. for twenty  
years.

And then there came the day that he wasn't allowed to enter Canada.

Through images and her words, she tells their unforgettable story.  In  
THE DEPORTEE'S WIFE, Giselle
brings a clear, distinctive and personal voice to a complicated issue  
that's often swept away between sound bites
and political promises.
Giselle tells you a love story you'll never forget.
