Theater is an essential space that allows us to bring strong themes to the stage and engage the audience to become agents of change for a fairer society in which discrimination, hatred, and racism have no place.
Helped with we have built in the past 20 years and what we learned throughout the pandemic, LORCA-Living the Experience has allowed for further discussions about freedom and allowed us to create something we had never done before.
THANK YOU to the cast, crew, audience, collaborators, and foundations for joining us, for having been an essential part of our return to face-to-face theater, and for respecting the theater we create. We could not have done this without you.
Enjoy the reviews and some comments from our beloved audience.
Thank you for being Water People Theater.
“Superb! An incredible creative combination of good acting, music, performance and media. Profound texts from Garcia Lorca’s works. So relevant. I only wanted more… This is a piece not one should miss. Excellent acting! Great direction. Looking forward for the next Water People Theater group play.”
– María Stare
“The main highlight in the writing of this artist born and murdered in the Spaniard region of Granada, is the breadth of his vision of the feminine. This was the compass for the creation of the show, which takes us vertiginously through the most representative women of Lorca’s imaginary.”
– Carlos Roa
“Lorca Living The Experience, is a bold and high quality return to live theater by Water People Theater”
– Vanesa Valecillos
“Bellísimo trabajo de dirección y actuación de un estupendo elenco. El teatro, poesía, música y dibujos de García Lorca vibran en un escenario multimedia que te inmerge en el mundo lorquiano. ¡Un sueño!”
– Roció Ferreira
At Water People, we are incredibly excited to share what we do with numerous talented actors and musicians, all very passionate and committed to theater. Thank you for joining us on our return to in-person theater! Lorca, wherever he is, must be smiling.
