Barca Restaurant Hosts a Sneak Preview of AMALIA'S STORY: A Vignette of The Parkville Project, 10/24
What happens when you give puppets the power? When you blend an ICE raid with a Cuban lullaby? What happens when actors and audience mingle as the Royal Typewriter factory burns?
That is The Parkville Project in the making: a devised multimedia performance piece developing before your eyes at Barca Restaurant in Parkville.
Barca Restaurant will host a sneak preivew of AMALIA'S STORY: a Vignette of The Parkville Project on October 24, 2009 at 7:30pm. For complimentary tickets, email ms@batedbreaththeatre.org
In October 2008, Artistic Director of Bated Breath Theatre Company, Helene Kvale led a team of theatre practitioners on a journey of anthropological proportions to Parkville, Hartford. They talked to people on the streets, to business owners, senior citizens to local politicians. They researched,
explored, collaborated, and created The Parkville Project incorporating professional and community actors in a devised, promenade piece. Weaving together original text, movement, and puppetry, The Parkville Project tells the story of an undocumented worker caught up in an Immigration Customs Enforcement raid in Hartford. As her life is thrown into relief she is faced with tough choices, comic characters and enduring memories.
