SUMMARY:Sofía Viola
DESCRIPTION:Sofía Viola\nSofia Viola takes us into her home in Buenos Aires for an intimate acoustic set that highlights the strength of her voice and the brilliance and honesty of her songwriting. Embracing her guitar and her charangón\, Viola’s songs drift from tango to vibrations of the Andes\, from milonga to happy cumbia\, from rock to vallenato\, and from chamamé to blues. \n  \nShe composes songs in which she professes her unconditional love for Latin American folklore in all its dimensions; and in her solo show\, she tells micro-stories that speak of love\, ecology\, junk food\, and universal themes from her perspective. Sofia’s provocative humor leads the audience on a journey to discover the roots of Argentina through the characters and landscapes that inhabit her songs. \n  \nTICKETS

Bandleader Gary Nuñez and his orchestra combine a hard-hitting horn section\, master hand drummers\, and lush three-part vocal harmonies into a modern blend\, mixing traditional Puerto Rican rhythms with modern Afro-Caribbean influences\, and folkloric musical roots with contemporary compositions. \nThey’ve toured the world from Morocco to California and everywhere in between\, and recorded with some of the biggest names in Latin music\, like Eddie Palmieri\, Papo Lucca\, and Nestor Torres\, reviving the once-dormant plena sound for a new generation\, electrifying audiences with a dazzling spectacle of horns\, drums\, and dance. \nJUST ADDED!\nSpecial Bonus Feature \nBodas de Sangre \nTeatro Quarantine \nStay tuned at the end of Plena Libre’s presentation for a special bonus feature by Teatro Quarantine – the first episode of Frederico Garcia Lorca’s Bodas de Sangre! \nTeatro Quarantine presents Lorca’s seminal work for the stage as you’ve never experienced it – produced virtually with actors and sets in remote locations. In the face of the current lockdown\, necessity has again become the mother of invention and innovation as every actor has become their own costume designer\, set designer\, lighting designer\, technical director\, and crew member. The result? A gathering of incredible artists to create a unique fully virtual production of Bodas de Sangre! Bilingual\, online and full of DUENDE! \n  \n______________________________________________________________________________________ \nVIRTUAL LATINO ARTS FESTIVAL  \nEsperanza Arts Center presents our first annual Virtual Latino Arts Festival\, celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month with streamed performances by Latino artists and traditions from around the world.

SUMMARY:Kun-Yang Lin/Dance Company - Faith Project
DESCRIPTION:Kun-Yang Lin/Dancers’ Faith Project/The Door is an abstract dance work created by founder and Artistic Director\, Kun-Yang Lin\, that contemplates the relationship between religious practice and contemporary dance. An important part of the project consisted of “story circle” encounters with community participants from various faith perspectives\, dance artists and other artistic collaborators. Engaging with practitioners of diverse spiritual outlooks\, Lin and his dance artists’ considered the role movement plays in religious rituals and actions. KYL/D worked with Interfaith Philadelphia to recruit community participants\, who engaged in verbal and physical call-and-response activities with the dancers and the project’s multimedia and sound design collaborators. Kun-Yang Lin/Dancers collaborated with Kimerer LaMothe—a scholar working at the intersection of dance and religion to structure the story circle conversations. The company explored new possibilities in visual design with multimedia designer Jared Mezzocchi\, and composer/sound designer Cory Neale who created a sound score for the final work as well as Sara Outing for set design and Jill Peterson for costume design. Major support for the original creation and performance of Faith Project was provided by The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage\, with additional support from The National Endowment for the Arts and Temple University. Faith Project premiered in March 2018 at Prince Theater. The company is excited to bring back the full-length version of Faith Project/The Door in for the first time since it’s premiere in collaboration with Esperanza!
