The Malaga Ship: A Story of Maine and the Middle Passage at Storytelling Arts of Indiana

Storytelling Arts of Indiana presents a compelling show to honor Black History Month with The Malaga Ship: A Story of Maine and the Middle Passage, performed by acclaimed artist Antonio Rocha. This unique storytelling experience combines mime and spoken word to recount the tragic history of the Malaga, a brig involved in the illegal transatlantic trade of African captives. Using his voice and body, Rocha explores the deep connections between the ship's narrative and the impact of slavery, drawing on his own roots in Brazil. The performance will take place on February 8 at the Eugene & Marilyn Glick Indiana History Center, with options for both in-person attendance and livestream viewing.
