DICHOS EN NICHOS To Be Presented By Teatro Paraguas
Performances will take place in August.
Teatro Paraguas will present the premiere production of Dichos en Nichos, a new play written by author Sage Vogel, adapted from his award-winning book of the same name. Dichos en Nichos blends regional storytelling traditions, contemporary themes, and the cultural and linguistic richness of Northern New Mexico.
In this full-length, ensemble-driven production, the audience is taken into the heart of a "proverbial" 1950s Northern New Mexico village, where the orchards, arroyo-roads, adobe homes, and even pigsties hold tales of wit, woe, romance, and wisdom. In the play’s six interwoven acts, each scene serves as a ‘nicho,’ a vivid window into a community thrumming with the many rhythms of life, from poetry and music to tragedy and scandal. As their stories unfold, the colorful cast of characters exchange ‘dichos’—folk proverbs spoken in both English and New Mexican Spanish—to offer one another guidance, caution, and comfort as they navigate themes of identity, community, mortality, and love.
Dramatic, comedic, nostalgic, and culturally rich, Dichos en Nichos reflects Teatro Paraguas’ ongoing mission to develop and present contemporary bilingual theater that celebrates the linguistic, artistic, and cultural diversity of New Mexico, while amplifying regional voices through community-rooted storytelling.
Directed by Makaela Vogel and written by Sage Vogel, Dichos en Nichos features a local cast, crew, and creative team that includes their parents, prestigious artists Jim and Christen Vogel, and Santa Fe County Commissioner Camilla Bustamante as lead fundraiser.
Performances will take place from August 7-23 at Teatro Paraguas, 3205 Calle Marie, Santa Fe. Fridays and Saturdays at 7pm. Sundays at 2pm. Tickets can be purchased at the Ticket Leap website for the event or by calling 505.424.1601. Further information about the production can be found at Teatro Paraguas' website.
