In Torera at the Alley Theatre, a young woman dreams of swirling a red cape and fighting bulls. alleytheatre

The one-act story is told in three tercios or parts, Hurst-Mendoza said, modeled after a bullfight. Each of the three parts of a bullfight are called a tercio."In the first tercio it's all about the bullfighter testing the bull's strength. The second part is about tiring the bull, weakening the bull," Hurst -Mendoza said.muleta
Readily conceding that she understands where the violence in bullfighting can make onlookers uncomfortable, Mendoza-Hurst points to the history of gladiators, and"even rodeos here in Texas." She insists that the bulls are treated with reverence and their deaths are quick and"respectful." If the bullfighter makes a mess of the killing portion, the audience will boo and the torero is disgraced, she said.
What keeps many people out of bullfighting is the cost, she said."It's a very expensive art form. It's no different than being an equestrian. Each suit is like $3,000 or $4,000. The capes they use are $500. If you're a type of bullfighter that's on horseback, you have to own anywhere from four to six horse on average. So it's a very expensive art form."
