Monday March 20th 2017, LLECA’s Bienvenida. Benefit with ex-prisoner group from Nicaragua. Volkseten Vegazulu, 7pm.
Dear friends, to celebrate the arrival of Lleca Teatro in the Netherlands, we are hosting a Nicaraguan dinner at Joe’s Garage!! Lleca’s Nicaraguan theatre collective outside of prison consists of former and non-prisoners who have been making theater inside prison since 2009. They are now coming to the Netherlands on invitation of the International Community Arts Festival (ICAF)! At the ICAF, they will present their physical theater play “Cain and the Dogs” originally made in prison in 2015 and host a workshop. During their three-week stay in the Netherlands there will be a couple of public opportunities to see them in action!
We invite you all to give the group a proper “bienvenida” and share dinner with us on Monday March 20th at Joe’s!! We will be cooking a delicious vegan, tropical meal accompanied by traguitos, and of course there will be lovely latin tunes for your bellies and ears. There will be ample opportunity to speak with Lleca Teatro’s former-prisoner actors & director over dinner! Hope to see you!!
Lleca Teatro will be staying in the Netherlands between 19 March and 10 April. Other events with the group include: Friday 31 March presentation of their physical theater play “Caín y los Perros” at Theater Zuidplein, Rotterdam (ICAF) | Saturday 1 April workshop on physical theater at the ICAF, Rotterdam | Thursday 6 April presentation of “Caín y los Perros” at CREA, Amsterdam, followed by a Q&A with the group | Saturday 8 April Farewell & Cumbia Carcelera party at De Peper, Amsterdam.
