Roa

La historia sucede en Bogotá en los días previos al 9 de abril de 1948. Roa es el clásico agüerista que lo deja todo a la suerte, un pobre diablo sin oficio estable pero con una familia que alimentar. Cansado de buscar trabajo y convencido que ha nacido para cosas grandes, visita a su ídolo Eliecer Gaitán para pedirle trabajo.

Roa

“Lo Bello y Lo Feo en el Arte” con Andrés Bardon @ Institute of Hispanic Culture of Houston
Oct 12 @ 2:30 pm – 5:30 pm

Una charla especialmente pensada para reconectarnos con el arte y sus expresiones a través de la historia. Al concurrir a un museo o a una galería de arte, muchas veces podemos sentirnos ajenos a las obras como si estas parecieran no estar realizadas para nosotros. En esta presentación veremos como debemos acercarnos al fenomeno estético y sus categorías de belleza y fealdad para pdoer apreciar y disfrutar el arte en toda magnitud.

Nov 21 @ 7:30 pm – Nov 24 @ 2:30 pm

TEATRX is bringing back La Vida Es Cortos / Life Is Shorts Festival for the second year! The festival will once again bring Latinx stories to the stage and screen in new and exciting ways. This year’s lineup includes a 14-minute musical, 21 Chump Street: The Musical, by Hamilton star Lin Manuel Miranda, and a short film by native Houstonian Vannessa Vasquez of Hulu’s East Los High. Along with 21 Chump Street: The Musical, TEATRX will produce two plays chosen after a nationwide call for short plays. On behalf of TEATRX, Laura Moreno will direct, The Party Favor, by Julián Mesri. The second play, A Volunteer by Marian Licha will be directed and acted by members of Teatro Indigo. This year’s festival will also feature the Spanish language play, El Espejo by Emilio Carballido directed by RS Producciones, and a dance theatre piece written and choreographed by Adam Castaneda of Pilot Dance Project.

Because of the high volume of fantastic film submissions, TEATRX will show 13 short films ranging from two to fifteen minutes. Films will be split between four performances Thursday – Saturday. Each night the audience will vote on their favorite film. The top films will be featured at the final performance on Sunday, November 24.

La Vida Es Cortos/Life Is Shorts Festival is funded in part by grants from the City of Houston through the Houston Arts Alliance.
