As part of our 20th anniversary, we will present three video documentaries our theatrical piece and Aztec Dance. – Our video documentary ¿Y Nosotr@s que? What about us? As the pandemic hits Philadelphia, thousands of undocumented immigrants -- mostly descendants of the Indigenous people of the American continent -- are left out of economic relief, pushing them to find any work, depleting their savings, and putting their lives at risk while carrying the stress of immigration limbo.
A theatrical piece called Camine, camine, camine pero nunca llege… (Walk, walk, walk but never arrive…) which talks about the immigration experience of crossing the border as well as cultural identity and traditions.
