DULCE MARIA SOLIS Comedian/Writer
I have no vested interest in becoming saner, or mentally balanced, or even useful
to society. I have found a neurosis that works for me and an intelligent audience.

Chela, written and
performed by her daughter, award-winning actor Dulce Maria Solis, is an
intimate theatrical biography. This ninety minute play chronicles the
seemingly illogical and unreasonable ways in which Chela reacts and
copes with *child neglect, sexual assault, domestic violence at the
hands of her mother and husband, an almost absent father, eight
miscarriages, immigrant status, and prohibited love.
At times, the way in which Chela deals with the events in her life are
funny, other times it is disheartening, but most of the time her actions
are poignant illustrations of an unexamined life. And it is not until
her life somewhat improves, that she starts to question the events in
her life, and the first thing she questions is what really should be
happening in the bedroom.
Dulce Maria Solis has performed at the Actor’s Alliance Festival at the
Lyceum Space (San Diego REP) and won Outstanding Female Performance.
She has also performed and has had standing ovation performances in Los
Angeles at the Frida Kahlo Theater
and CASA 0101, in San Diego, at the Centro Cultural de la Raza, and in Texas, at the Multicultural
Education and Counseling through the Arts (MECA).
