‘Stir’ takes stage for world premiere at the Old Globe

The smells, sounds and setting of “Stir” make it stand out amongst other plays, said playwright and actor Joel Perez.

“We created a fictional universe where Henry and Mariana are cooking over Zoom to honor their mother,” Lopez said. “Mariana who has the recipe and Henry who wants to learn the recipe — and we made a Zoom play and then we thought this could work in person.” Lopez said the play emphasizes ritual, in this case cooking. She said rituals like that keeps people grounded, together and makes our lives sacred.

“We have a kitchen that has two counters. And these counters can rotate and move,” Lorca said. “We create this illusion that this brother and sister are in separate spaces cooking, but they can also fluidly invade each other's space.” While the play deals with the loss of a loved one, it's still a comedy that's meant to be funny and moving.
