Oscar Cásares, an acclaimed novelist from the Rio Grande Valley, wanted to tell his 10-year-old daughter, Elena, about his experience of growing up on the Texas-Mexico border. To tell her this story, Cásares and photographer Joel Salcido traveled the length of the Rio Grande, from El Paso and Juarez to Brownsville and Matamoros, to share his roots and the subtle and profound details of those who live there. These postcards and the human stories they reveal come to life in a new stage production with music composed and performed by the celebrated singer-songwriter Carrie Rodriguez along with her 5-piece band.
