Growing old can be a sweet, peaceful process or it can be a real pain in the ass. For two Spanish sisters living in a foreign land, it’s a combination of both. Learn their story as they exchange tender reminiscences, outrageous defamations, and acts of pure madness. Sit on their battered rug amid a mountain of mysterious boxes as they squabble over petty nuisances and recall their fondest memories. Partake in their struggle as they fight to stay in one world for as long as they can, until being forced into another. Is their behavior just eccentricity or something

more destructive?.

* Casa de Pessoa

Theater. Yinzerspielen. By Cory Tamler and Patrick Berger.

What if you had the power to bring your favorite literary characters to life? Would you want to? Would you be prepared for the consequences? These are the questions scientist Rich Zenith must face when he decides to advance an experiment he and his wife, Kati, have been working on: breathing life into the legendary Portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa’s fictional authors, known as “heteronyms”. Unbeknownst to Kati, Rich throws a surprise party for her in which he will unveil their untested creation. And who will be the test subjects? The audience, of course! Join in on the fun—and terror!—as random members of the party are chosen to embody Pessoa’s most well-known “Nyms”.

* New York: One State. Many Nations

Music. Composer/ Director: Carlos David Bernales. 

Exemplifying the essence of a “cultural melting pot”, ‘New York: One State. Many Nations’ sets poetry to music in a concert that celebrates the diversity of one of the greatest cities in the world. With inspiration from pieces by Neruda, Rumi, Whitman, Langston Hughes, Tagore, and Cesar Vallejo, to name a few, composer Carlos D. Bernales orchestrates this ambitious love song to New York. ‘New York’ follows Bernales’ previous project, “PERU: One Country. Many Nations” in exposing just what makes such a place thrive, under the vibrancy of its inhabitants.
