From the Dirty War and Beyond

A Conversation with Argentine Theatre Artists
JORGE ONOFRI & CARLOS URIONA

 

Artists, Onofri (guest designer for Shahrazad: A Tale of Love and Magic) and Uriona, whose early careers were spent creating theatre and art-driven resistance during the Dirty War in Argentina, will talk about the arc of their work during that time through today. Onofri, a performer and director of Caja Magica, a cultural center in the northern region of Patagonia, and Uriona, Ensemble Leader at The Farm in rural Ashfield, MA, will also discuss the trajectory that led them to their current work and visions for the future. Moderated by Matthew Glassman, this conversation will be streamed live online at Newplay TV.

For a chance to meet these amazing artists in person, please come to the Farm Center.
Tickets are $10 each. To reserve tickets, contact Joanna at 413-628-0277 or via e-mail.
