The Cockpit
Music: Emmanuel Pool
Text: Cristina Pardo (based on Vicky Nizri’s novel Vida Propia)
Imagine being 19 years old and seeing the ocean for the first time. Boarding a ship bound for an unknown land. Starting a new life among strangers—strangers who, in time, become lifelong companions. Picture getting married, raising children, losing a husband—and one day, telling your grandchildren the story, not with sorrow, but with a smile.
Esther wanted to become a modern woman like Gabriela Mistral. And she did—she became the author of her own story.
Duo Raíces brings this powerful, intimate tale to life, weaving music and memory into a performance that honors resilience, migration, and womanhood.
