A New Devised Theater Piece
The Tempest – Pregones/Puerto Rican Traveling Theater and R.Evolución Latina are pleased to announce performances of a new devised theater piece directed by Luis Salgado, The Tempest, the result of creative collaboration between professional and aspiring artists from Latin America, the Caribbean, and New York City. This riveting and multilingual production crowns this year’s joint run of the Raúl Juliá Training Unit and Beyond Workshop Series with a 21st Century Latinx take on Shakespeare. The Bard of Avon’s heightened language meets the rich sonority and rhythms of Latinx cultures, and artists get to bring their full selves to bear on the story’s comedy, drama, betrayal, and magic!
Only Four Performances —Wednesday to Saturday, July 26-29, 2019— 7:30 pm at Pregones in THE BRONX
“The Tempest is a new ambitious goal of evolution for R.Evolución Latina in relationship to classical work done in our own ‘dare to go beyond’ style. Artists are challenged, not only in the physical work, and the use of the Shakespearean language but also in connection to the social and political realities of today. Prospero (the antagonist) represents those in society who try to trick us into the eye of the storm, our work represents how we take actions to survive and come our triumphant.”
R.Evolución Latina (Luis Salgado, Founder & Artistic Director) is an organization that empowers the artistic community, and inspires growth within the Latino community through educational support programs, productions and partnerships. With the slogan “Dare to Go Beyond”, the organization is modeled on what it calls “The Circle Effect”, a platform that seeks to create a multilevel, multicultural, and multigenerational community where leaders are nurtured and supported, and they in turn make a difference and support others in their neighborhood. For information about all of R.Evolución Latina’s educational, community, and international partnership programs, the public can visit www.REvolucionLatina.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. 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.
