Performance | Storytelling: En El Camino: Stories of Migration and Love
“Desplazado” is the correct word to define a migrant: a person forced off their land, away from their culture. For Mexican storyteller Valentina Ortiz, migration started at age two. As she walked the paths of the world she learned to love, laugh, cry, sing, and tell her stories. En el Camino~Stories of Love and Migration she narrates a journey of a child faced with the learning of several languages to the grown woman who whispers to her plastic pet alligator as she roams the streets of New York. Valentina Ortiz speaks the ancient Aztec wisdom as well as the modern stories of Mexico. She has been on stage since she was six as an actress, musician, and storyteller. In Mexico, the US, and other parts of the world she works for children and for adult audiences. She now deeply enjoys multilingual storytelling; Spanish, Nahuatl, English, and French and continues to work in small Mexican communities bringing the stories back home.

Opening Reception | Arms, Legs, Fingers: Three Paintings by Colleen Asper and a Play in Three Acts
Arms is an animated coming-of-age story. Commonly the most dexterous of the limbs, the artist’s arms spring forth from her vagina-turned-stage to play Rosalyn, a young girl not yet marked as woman; her friend and sympathizer Paul; his younger brothers Ryan and Sammy; and the mother of the three boys, who in her proximity and distance to Rosalyn is a modern twist on the evil stepmother. She sets out to teach Rosalyn what it means to be a woman in this stark portrayal of family strife and childhood angst. The ending will leave you stunned. Legs follows Lilly, kicking and screaming, from a down-and-out yoga studio into her past. When a chance instruction during vinyasa jogs a memory of a long-lost friendship, Lilly, played by the artist’s left leg, reencounters Jamie, played by the artist’s right leg. The return to her adolescence offers more than Lilly bargained for in this suspenseful meditation on the origins of desire. The ending will leave you speechless. Fingers is the final tale in this triumvirate. Twinkle, snap, clap, and cheer for an ensemble cast of all ten of the artist’s digits. Spring break will never be the same after two freshmen drinking in a suburban bathroom learn something about themselves, each other, and finally humanity. What happens next takes us through courtrooms, onto alien spaceships, and right up to current events in order to answer that age-old question, what is in a name? The ending will leave you wanting more. Colleen Asper has had solo and two person exhibitions at venues that include Stellar Projects, New York, NY (2018); On Stellar Rays, New York, NY (2016); P!, New York, NY (2015); Art Production Fund Lab, New York, NY (2010); and Steven Wolf Fine Arts, San Francisco, CA (2007).

Staged Reading | Puppenhaus. Treatment: Treason and Collaborationism
In Puppenhaus.Treatment, playwright Magda Fertacz examines the issues of treason and collaborationism from the perspective of alternative codes of memory: “Traitors to the country,” “collaborators,” and “renegades,” are World War II figures that have re-entered the national and political discourse of today. By constructing a theatrical fantasy about wartime, the artists are asking questions about the stigmatization, punishment and judgment of individuals who, for a variety of reasons, renounce heroism and refuse to fight and make sacrifices for their country. How is historical memory and moral evaluation of past choices and actions constructed? What are the limits of interpreting and fantasizing about history charged with trauma and heroism? How can collective memory be healed?
