Piaf, Voz y Delirio @ Stafford Centre
Sep 13 @ 8:00 pm – 10:00 pm

Su música. Su Historia. Un experiencia teatral épica.

A través de las canciones más emblemáticas de Edith Piaf, daremos un paseo por lo que fue su vida. Experimentaremos cómo una mujer frágil que comenzó a ganarse la vida cantando en las calles de la clase trabajadora de París se convirtió en una leyenda musical.

La voz y las melodías de Piaf son reconocibles al instante. Esto hace que interpretarla sea un tremendo desafío para cualquier actriz. Mariaca Semprún, conocida en todo el mundo de habla hispana, está a la altura del desafío. Semprún busca en su mundo interior y logra rendir un magnífico homenaje a la voz, el arte y el legado de Piaf. Leonardo Padrón, uno de los grandes intelectuales de América Latina, ha entretejido la música de Piaf en una historia cautivadora.

El tema más famoso de Piaf habla sobre no tener arrepentimientos. Asegúrate de que tú tampoco tengas ninguno y déjate seducir. Consigue tus entradas hoy!

by Mauricio Paz Viola & Justin Earl Grant

 

“Scientists say that human beings are made of atoms, but a little bird told me that we are also made of stories.”
Eduardo Galeano

Bonderlust aspires to reaffirm the magnitude of possibilities of the expansion of the human being.

On view until Sat. Oct. 12th

14 Kilómetros

“Catorce kilómetros” es la distancia que separa África de Europa por el Estrecho de Gibraltar. En África hay millones de personas cuyo único objetivo es entrar en Europa porque el hambre no entiende de fronteras ni de barreras. Este largometraje quiere aportar un poco de luz a las sombras de la inmigración. Buba Kanou, Violeta Sunny Sunny y Mukela Kanou emprenden un largo y peligroso viaje hacia Europa a través de Mali, Níger, Argelia y Marruecos y muestran ciertos aspectos no muy conocidos de la realidad africana.

 

14 Kilometres

14 Kilometres, the distance separating Africa from Europe, is a road movie depicting the hardships and challenges some people undertake in order to reach their dream destination, where they believe they can find paradise.
The film follows the perilous journey of three characters across the Sahara to Morocco in order to cross the Straits of Gibraltar into Spain, as they attempt to reach the supposedly lavish lands of Europe where there is hope for the future. This trio consists of a young girl, Violet, who lives in a village in Mali, escaping her arranged marriage to an old man; Buba, a mechanic and a skillful footballer, and his older brother Mukela from the neighbouring Niger, who suggests that he go to Europe to try his skills there.
