Carla Navarro is an actress and writer whose collection of short plays, 'Cats Can't Eat Yarn,' is being performed at the City Heights Performance Annex March 15 to 17.
Carla Navarro prefers to tuck herself between the folds and layers of personal relationships when she’s writing the characters in her plays. “I am fascinated with the dynamics of relationships more than anything. The plot of the play can be anything, it doesn’t matter if it’s this crazy, intricate story, or as simple as getting up in the middle of the night for a glass of water — if the relationships aren’t there with all of the layers, how can they be relatable? What’s the point?” she says.
With good reason, I find more representation of Mexican culture, which is so rich and vast, but that is not my representation. In fact, when speaking Spanish, I find myself neutralizing my Chilean accent so I can be understood or so I can avoid having to explain that I am not Mexican. In other circumstances, I have to explain or remind people that I didn’t grow up in the U.S., so there are cultural things that I just don’t share with my friends.
