In Manifest Destiny (June 12-29, 2025 at Teatro LATEA), Ortiz expertly blends styles, from documentary theater to telenovela, as this Chilean Hamlet faces members of Pinochet regime, ‘America’ in human form, and various comical assassins to take history into his own hands.

Manifest Destiny is the second installment of Ortiz’s American Mythology trilogy.
