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!

Applying for college is a highly competitive and complicated process, from career focus discernment to selecting the educational institution, financial concerns, standardized test readiness and developing the communication strategies to best represent yourself in writing and in person.

This one-day workshop will focus on the academic discernment process, developing a strong resume and personal statement, interview skills, and the power of social media -both negative and positive impact.

After a morning session with experts in the field of education and communication, students will have the opportunity to apply the concepts in practical exercises demonstrating the different skill sets.

We look forward to working with you to make this journey a success!

Nela Garzon Art Exhibition @ Institute of Hispanic Culture of Houston
Nov 2 2020 – Jan 3 2021 all-day
Nela Garzon Art Exhibition @ Institute of Hispanic Culture of Houston

About the exhibition

Made in China

Through three different artistic disciplines, such as fiber art, sculpture and painting, Nela Garzón questions the mercantile and disposable paradigm of objects in conflict with cultural identities.

“The body of work produced for this project inquires about the wide effects of consumerism and mass production and comments on the loss of cultural identity in the hands of globalization and industrialization. This global problem supported by us (consumers), besides devastating the environment, affects everyone but mostly minorities who have been maintaining the cultural heritage and diversity of the world alive.”
