RIQUEÑO: A Bilingual Poetic Play

Come enjoy an evening of Latin flavor, full of traditional poetry, rhythms, dance and culture.

A bilingual poetic musical play in three-acts, RIQUEÑO explores the natural mosaic that is national identity.

Exploring Puerto Rican identity and its progression through history, RIQUEÑO starts during the Hispanic-American War, continues through the current Puerto Rican Diaspora, and ends with a hypothetical view into the future years to come after hurricane María.

With text by Paloma Sierra Hernandez, and music by Pedro Emanuel Franco Fraticelli, the show is a tasteful depiction of Latinx identity and flavor.

Cast includes Lluvia Ilusion Almanza, Carolina Arboleda, Ara Bear, Benjamin I. Cardona and Eduardo Rivera Otero. The show is directed by Zoe Clayton, and has costume and set design by Domitille Angoulvant, and media design by Sophie Chen.

Tickets ($10) for RIQUEÑO are available at Ticketfly.

The performance date is THURSDAY JULY 26 at 7:30PM, showing at Nuyorican Poets Cafe (236 E 3rd St 10009 NY).

The show is presented in collaboration with Paint Theatre. Funding has been made possible by the Puffin Foundation.
