Harvest Moon is a full-length play about Mariluz, a Chicana
muralist dying of cancer who paints a mural for her son,
telling the story of the farmworkers' struggle for life
As her son uncovers the past, the mural comes alive. An "ancestral agricultural memory," this story chronicles four generations of a Mexican-American farmworker family, celebrating life and art
"Graceful and moving in its fluid crosscutting of characters and time schemes, it creates a vital sense of a family both shaped by and shaping the American experience Moon is framed as an ancestral agricultural memory
Images of both the bounty and harshness of the harvest fill the play González works in some witty and theatrical touches" ~ San Francisco Chronicle
