Echo Theatre’s 29th season, The World of Eva Luna, invites audiences into the richly imagined universe of internationally celebrated author Isabel Allende through two connected theatrical works.

 

This fall, Echo will present the world-premiere workshop of Of Clay We Are Created, Stephanie Oustalet’s adaptation of Allende’s haunting short story, leading to a full production in spring 2027.

 

In November, Echo and Teatro Dallas will join forces for the regional premiere of Eva Luna, adapted from Allende’s celebrated novel by award-winning playwright Caridad Svich.

 

Together, the productions reveal storytelling as an act of survival and transformation—a way to preserve identity, reclaim agency, and imagine a life beyond the limits others impose.

 

Lectures, panels, and special events throughout the season will invite audiences deeper into Allende’s writing and the cultural, historical, and political worlds that shape it.
