SUMMARY:Tale 53;Snowhite
DESCRIPTION:Loisaida Inc. & Maskhunt Motions proudly present:\nTale 53;Snowhite\nwith: Deborah Hunt & Shanti Lalita\n\nTale 53; Snowhite is a sinister story told inside an intriguing wooden artefact that houses a toy theatre (with two- dimentional painted puppets moving on tracks)\, objects\, a kamishibai (for backdrop changes) and a cranky or moving panorama. It is based on “Snowhite”\, the creation of reknowned Spanish author and illustrator Ana Juan. \nDeborah Hunt\, (theatre maker\, maskbuilder and operator\, puppeteer\, teacher and autor) has adapted and directed the tale and manipulates the puppets and backdrops. Shanti Lalita\, (cellist\, poet and performer) is the composer and live musician. \nFar from the disneyesque version of Snow White\, our tale relates the life of a young woman who falls prey to a blood thirsty stepmother\, an hostile city\, hustling dwarves and a rapacious prince. Based on the original story Tale 53 (The Little Snow White) of the Grimm Brothers published in 1812\, the story of Ana Juan offers a biting and pertinent stare at the situation of women still relevant to our times. Justaposed with the beauty of the puppets\, objects and painted backdrops\, Tale 53;Snowhite promises a unique theatrical experience. \nToy theatre is a kind of theatre in miniature that flourished in the 19th century in Europe. The small theatres\, scenery\, backdrops and characters were printed on paper\, painted and cutout and the stories were presented in the salas and drawing rooms of private houses\, often accompanied with live music. \nHunt has presented the work in Puerto Rico (San German and San Juan) at the Odin Teatret in Denmark and now in New York. It will be presented at the Festival Internacional de Títeres de Matanzas en Cuba in 2018. Additionally I can offer a daylong workshop using the artefact of the show (toy theatre\, kamishibai\, cranky) as a point of departure. Participants work in groups creating short stories using these techniques. \n\n\n \nPowered by Eventbrite

SUMMARY:Fantasy Island: Exhibition Closing
DESCRIPTION:For Shey Rivera Ríos and Huáscar Robles\, Hurricane María is an atmospheric manifestation compounded by the fiscal crisis troubling Puerto Rico’s urban landscape. The installation and performance Fantasy Island is an experience that explores how tourism and consumer culture sell a “fantastical” luxury lifestyle\, a tropical paradise twisting crisis into “opportunity”. A door opens into a real estate office selling dreams of luxury and reconstruction and the viewer delves into a dizzying spell of animated gifs\, performance and altars. \nFor Fantasy Island\, Rivera transformed Loisaida’s space into a real estate office surrounded by a black and white grid that envelops visitors while monitors flash GIFs that borrow aesthetics from the vaporwave movement. In one image\, a hand waves a wad of cash to a “Puerto Rico” neon sign while icons of the Virgin Mary and a ram\, both cultural symbols of Puerto Rico’s syncretism and colonial history\, spin in an enticing\, dizzying spell. Viewers are also inspired to reflect on how natural disasters such as the path of hurricanes affecting not only Puerto Rico but also our Caribbean neighbors maybe twisted into “opportunity” after the crisis subsides. \nFor the Loisaida Center\, a cultural enterprise with deep roots in the Nuyorican and Latinx New York community\, Fantasy Island stretches the island to New York and its Puerto Rican and Caribbean diaspora as it hits common issues they all grapple with. \nThe opening reception will include a special performance. \nThroughout the fall\, and beyond\, the Loisaida Inc. Center’s programming will provide opportunities to pledge support to the relief and recovery efforts in the Caribbean.
