Aluna Theatre Presents NOHAYQUIENSEPA, 3/15-27

The multiple Dora Award-winning Aluna Theatre presents the Toronto premiere of Nohayquiensepa (No one knows), a multimedia dance-theatre piece that explores how we react to the death of strangers both here and abroad. This innovative collective creation, in English and Spanish, previews March 13, opens March 15 and runs to March 27, 2011 at The Theatre Centre.

Inspired by events in a Colombian river town on the edge of great violence and by reports on the activities of Canadian mining conglomerates, artists from Canada, Colombia, Mexico, Serbia, Uruguay, and Venezuela investigate the connections between our lives here in Canada and those who live in places where human rights violations are common.

Originally a design experiment in the use of live video in stage performance by scenographer/director Trevor Schwellnus, Nohayquiensepa has grown into a full theatrical production through a collective creation process with the help of choreographer Olga Barrios and performers Carlos Gonzalez-Vio, Lilia Leon, Victoria Mata, Beatriz Pizano, Chris Stanton and Mayahuel Tecozautla with sound design by Thomas Ryder Payne, costumes by Andjelija Djuric, assistant direction and stage management by Heather Braaten and live drawing by Lorena Torres.
