A performance about aging and the weight of being human. Performed by Esther Gamez-Rubio, Martha Rolón de la Peña, Wilfrido Terrazas, and Ivan Trujillo. This extended collaborative work explores the evolving nature of the body—how it ages, expands, and transforms. Inspired by the writings of philosopher Jean-Luc Nancy, the performance unfolds as a corporeal meditation on identity, form, and the limits of physical being. Each performer—including Gámez Rubio, Martha Rolón de la Peña (clarinet/saxophone), Iván Trujillo Luna (trumpet), and Wilfrido Terrazas (flute)—offers a solo improvisation before coming together in a final group performance that blends sound, movement, projection, and textile. The result is part concert, part ritual: a deeply felt and intimate encounter with the body—its beauty, its strangeness, and its constant transformation.

"A Streetcar Named Desire" by Tennessee Williams directed by Rob Lutfy playing at Tenth Avenue Arts Center June 19 - July 12, 2025. Olivier and Tony Award Nominations for Best Play Featuring: Megan Carmitchel, Francis Gercke, Jessica John, MJ Sieber, Faith Carrion, Layth Haddad, William Huffaker, Markuz Rodriguez and Dianne Yvette "I made the discovery - love. All at once and much, much too completely." The Big Easy is anything but for Blanche DuBois, the quintessential creation of Tennessee Williams' classic tale of lustful deceit and the longing for redemption. On the run from her mysterious past, the destitute Blanche arrives on the doorstep of her younger sister Stella who is pregnant with her first child. Desperate for attention and demanding the devotion that has forever eluded her, Blanche inserts herself between the mother-to-be and her hot-blooded husband Stanley and sparks a flame of passion and possession that cannot be contained and can only consume everything in its path.
