Innovative theatre makers across the country have risen to the challenge of creating safe art in the time of COVID - often via Zoom, Twitch, or other conferencing/streaming platforms. Red Bike, directed by Juliet Salazar and presented by Teatro Paraguas, took a different, and decidedly more cinematic route, resulting in an engrossing piece of socially distanced theatre.
Teatro Paraguas will produce a video version of a play that has been considered for production for several years: Red Bike, by prize-winning playwright Caridad Svich.
Teatro Paraguas presents the 6th Annual El Día de los Muertos (The Day of the Dead) community celebration with an exciting line-up of live music, staged cuentos (folk-tales), a medley of songs, local dancers, poetry, and a short original comedy.
Even though the subject matter is heavy, Elliot, a Soldier's Fugue, part one of the Elliot Trilogy by Quiara Alegria Hughes, left me with a light feeling at the end. I was looking forward to part two, Water By the Spoonful, this week, hopeful for a similar experience. Part two was a whole other experience and this time, the heaviness did not subside at the conclusion.
Ironweed Productions presents Water by the Spoonful by Quiara Alegría Hudes as part of a collaboration with Teatro Paraguas and the Santa Fe Playhouse to bring her three-play cycle, The Elliot Trilogy, to Santa Fe. Ironweed's production, directed by Valli Marie Rivera, will run October 3rd through October 20th.

Atravesada is part of Teatro Paraguas' annual Poesia Viva - living poetry - series. It explores the physical and political U.S.-Mexico border and also the Borderlands of the Self. Woven with corridos and other music of the frontera (the borderlands), Atravesada has plenty of humor - but also offers an unflinching portrait of the border as "una herida abierta."
Teatro Paraguas is pleased to present Daphne's Dive, a play by Quiara Alegria Hudes which premiered in New York at the Signature Theatre in April 2016, for eleven performances beginning April 5, 2018.

Atravesada: to have been crossed, to have gone through, to have been pierced, to have been meddled with.

Atravesada: to have been crossed, to have gone through, to have been pierced, to have been meddled with. A borderland is in a constant state of transition Los atravesados live here: those who cross over, pass over, or go through the confines of the 'normal.' (Gloria Anzald a, Borderlands)
Teatro Paraguas presents Revolution, a play about Fernando Reyes' journey involving Love, Self, and Tierra y Libertad, by Alix Hudson, directed by Malcolm Morgan, and running September 29 - October 16.
Revolution is the story of transman Fernando Reyes' life growing up on the hacienda and joining the Zapatistas in the Mexican Revolution. Colonel Fernando Reyes is inspired by Amelio Robles (born Amelia Robles), a decorated Zapatista officer. Unlike many women - the well-documented soldaderas - who cross-dressed only for the duration of the war, Robles took the opportunity of the chaos of the Revolution to transition. He lived the rest of his life as a man.
