Dr. Nolan has been gone for one year and K'uychi Allpa, a Kichwa community in the Amazon rainforest, is struggling to stay afloat. Rudy, a U.S. veteran, turns to Ayahuasca as his last resort and Shae, an ex-evangelical-turned-devout psychonaut, is filling the void Dr. Nolan left as well as healing the one inside of her. The Ayahuasca Play is a trilingual (English, Spanish, & Kichwa) theatrical piece that explores the complexities around burgeoning Ayahuasca tourism in the Amazon rainforest in which themes of spiritual hunger in the 21st century, globalization, and the porous lines between exploitation and spiritual elevation collide.
