ULRIKE GRITA
Ulrike Marie Meinhof, periodista y activista alemana cofundadora del grupo Fracción del Ejército Rojo (RAF) fue encarcelada y torturada durante 200 días con aislamiento sensorial absoluto. Una tortura que sería definida más tarde por Amnistía Internacional como “tortura blanca”.
Consciente de su imposibilidad de sobrevivir “Ulrike” sigue enfrentando y denunciando al gobierno con su propia humanidad hasta su último aliento. Un grito agónico que revela un crimen de Estado disfrazado de suicidio.
“Ulrike, grita” una experiencia inmersiva de teatro documental que se presentará los días 8 y 9 de Julio del 2023 en “Thames Art Center”- 147 Thames St, Brooklyn NY- a las 8:30 pm.
Versión libre del monólogo “Yo, Ulrike, grito” de Franca Rame y Darío Fo, escrito y dirigido por Fernando Castro, con la actuación de Catherine French y música original de Yolanda Báez y Porter Benja.
Marrano: A Tale Of Inquisition
In the year 1485, the city of Zaragoza witnessed one of the most horrific crimes in its history. Whilst praying in the cathedral, Pedro de Arbués, the Inquisitor of Aragón, was murdered in cold blood by a group of unknown assassins.
The story of ‘Marrano” begins by asking ourselves about the identity and the motives of one of the assassins: Diego de Sevilla, previously known as Uriel. A simple man, son of a shoemaker, whose like changed radically when religious intolerance and fanaticism stripped away all he ever cherished: his faith, his family and his culture.
Migguel Anggelo: LatinXoxo
A queer, artful mashup of theater, humor, physical movement, and sumptuous song selections – spanning decades of pop hits, his own compositions, and the Spanish boleros – Migguel Anggelo literally peels back an onion layer of personas, strip teasing “Latin lover” clichés, and reckoning with the tragic death of his homophobic and disapproving father. With indelible precision, weaving in and out of the audience, the artist connects past and present while unraveling the stereotypes that would otherwise constrain him. With equal doses of sensitivity and sensationalism, Migguel Anggelo reminds us that our own self-worth is right there in the mirror. LatinXoxo was designed to immerse an audience in a highly personal story.
