NEW

Collective creation project featuring local Latinx community voices and stories:

Feb 28, March 1 & 2 (matinee March 2)
For more information: http://events.cornell.edu/event/hablaspeak

Habla/speak is a family friendly exploration of what it means to be Latino or Latina in our community. The storytellers are sometimes heart-rending, sometimes heart-warming, and take the audience through public events and private musings on what Latinidad means to them in this snowy upstate town. Performers tell stories from their lives, share music, dance, poetry, and invite you to have some tamales with us in a family celebration of a young girl’s quinceañera (turning fifteen).

Collaborators on this show include children, young adults, and elders from downtown Ithaca, as well as student co-creators from Ithaca College and Cornell. IC Teatro, helmed by Prof. Annette Levine, and Teatrotaller, advised by Prof. Debra Castillo, join with Cornell’s PMA to present this show, which is the result of a year long project to gather stories from a wide range of community members through story circles and theatrical games and workshops. The play is directed by Cornell alumna and community member Ana Florencia López Ulloa ’11, and includes actors ranging from ages 5 to 65+. The play has bilingual elements, but Spanish is not required to fully enjoy the performance.

Suitable for all ages.

Tickets are only $5, and there is a discount for groups of 10 or more. Get your tickets in advance, as this show is going to sell out quickly.
