CARMEN
CARMEN
Devised by the Ensemble
American Sign Language Interpreted on May 26
Where: The Dougherty Arts Center
1110 Barton Springs Road, Austin, TX 78704
512-974-4000 | www.austintexas.gov/dac
CARMEN takes the well-known opera as a jumping-off point and presents an all-Latinx cast performing a devised theatre piece exploring borders, labor, gender, and love. Queer subcultures and love stories clash with ICE raids and social networking as we use telenovela tropes to reinvent the tale of passion, jealousy, and ostracism. In a time of #dreamers, #borderwall and #metoo, CARMEN seeks to find both resistance and humor in chaotic times. Generic Ensemble Company is a Resident Theatre Organization of the Dougherty Arts Center through the Museums and Cultural Programs Division of the Parks and Recreation Department. Three weeks only.
Directed by kt shorb. Featuring: Siri Gurudev, Adam Martinez*, Eva McQuade, Joseph Quintana, Cassandra Reveles, Saray de Jesus Rosales, Jesus I. Valles**, Marina Weikel, Dillon Yruegas. Lighting Design by Aaron Curry. Costume and Properties Design by Jana Zek. Scenic Design by Iman Corbani. Sound Design by Malyssa Quiles.
