Huntington's BLACK BEANS PROJECT Extends Through June 13
Siblings share a family recipe and family secrets in this warm and funny new digital comedy by Melinda Lopez and Joel Perez.
The Huntington announces the extension of Black Beans Project, a world premiere digital work by Huntington artist-in-residence Melinda Lopez and award-winning performer Joel Perez, directed by Jaime Castañeda, now available for on-demand streaming through June 13, 2021. All tickets are pay-what-you-can.
In Black Beans Project, a sister and brother (played by creators Lopez and Perez) meet virtually to share a secret family recipe that forces them to reveal secrets of their own. They share memories and make plans, transforming their pandemic panic to renewal in this tender comedy about family, food, and finding the strength to move on. Black Beans Project invites audiences to open a bottle of wine, chop some garlic, and savor the possibility of connecting with family after a long time apart.
WBUR's The ARTery raves, "Oh Mama! Lopez and Perez cook up some virtual love. Light and fun with a bit of Spanish folded in." GBH says, "Black Beans Project is everything the dish at the heart of the piece might suggest - warmth, comfort and textured. With a bond that spills beyond the screen, Lopez and Perez are a choice embodiment of family as their characters test and restore vital familial ties."
Black Beans Project features performances by writers Lopez and Perez, as well as sound design and original music by Mikhail Fiksel and video design by Hana S. Kim. Tiffany L. Taveras is the video editor, Valentin Frank is the sound engineer, and Taylor Ness is the video and lighting engineer. Sam Layco is the stage manager, Charles Haugland is the dramaturg, and Caley Chase is the line producer.
