Works Featured:
EL ODIO DE UN PAÍS / The Hate of a Country
By Raquel Almazan
Direction by Gineiris Syphertt
EL ODIO DE UN PAÍS / The Hate of a Country examines the conditions of women through the dramatization of violence contrasted with the actions of healing and solidarity within female communities. Rape culture becomes personal Costa Rican mythology: A missing arm in the sugar cane fields, a mother and daughter climb the mango tree of dangerous memories in the jungle, imprisoned men swear their innocence to the Crimen de Colima. An autobiographical and biographical series of scenes that explore the mainstream history of Costa Rica from the perspective of family lineage. This play challenges the male and colonial gaze by revealing the destructive impact of oppression on the individual, positioned as a metonym for Costa Rica itself.
Then at 8pm also at the Puerto Rican Traveling Theater:
Latiné Storytellers & Creativity in Pregnancy and Motherhood

AND NOW I WAKE
By Gary Perez
Direction by Eddie Torres
And Now I Wake explores the complicated love between a father and daughter, the inheritance of trauma, and the price of second chances. Rafael, recently released after a thirteen-year prison bid. His daughter Marisol has become a successful prosecutor—someone who spends her days putting men like her father behind bars. When Rafael reaches out, their first real conversation in over a decade becomes a careful negotiation between his desperate need for forgiveness and her hard-earned skepticism. Both carry wounds from their shared past, but as they attempt to rebuild what was broken, they discover that the greatest danger might not be what Rafael did, but what refuses to let him go. A story about whether redemption is possible, and what happens when the past won’t stay buried.

The Collaborators
North Star Projects is a new arts initiative whose mission is to create a better world, one project at a time, by engendering experiences that empower, inspire, and build community through various platforms including live events and digital media. Founded by Producing Artistic Director Adriana Gaviria, North Star Projects works in partnership with artists, cultural leaders, organizations and leading theaters around the country to make a positive social impact in our communities on a local, regional and national level. www.northstarprojects.org
Pregones/Puerto Rican Traveling Theater is a multigenerational performing ensemble, multidiscipline arts presenter, and owner/steward of bilingual arts facilities in The Bronx and Manhattan. Our mission is to champion a Puerto Rican/Latinx cultural legacy of universal value through creation and performance of original plays and musicals, exchange and partnership with other artists of merit, and engagement of diverse audiences. Pregones was founded in 1979 when a group of artists led by Rosalba Rolón set out to create and tour new works in the style of Caribbean and Latin American colectivos or performing ensembles. Established as a Bronx resident company five years later, Pregones remains in the vanguard of an arts renaissance radiating throughout and beyond The Bronx today. Spurred by stage and film icon Miriam Colón, PRTT was founded in 1967 as one of the first bilingual theater companies in all the U.S. It is credited for nurturing the development of hundreds of Latinx theater artists, legitimating creative connections throughout the Spanish-speaking world, and pioneering models for genuine and lasting community engagement. Following merger in 2014, our New York season plays a decisive role in empowering underrepresented artists and audiences to claim a place at the front of the American theater. Rosalba Rolón, Artistic Director. Alvan Colón Lespier and Jorge B. Merced, Associate Artistic Directors. www.pregonesprtt.org
This program is made possible, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, in partnership with the City Council, and the New York State Council on the Arts, with the support of the Governor’s Office and the New York State Legislature. Pregones/PRTT’s Mainstage is also generously funded by Ford Foundation, Howard Gilman Foundation, Shubert Foundation, and Scherman Foundation. For a full list of our funders, click here.
