Consejo de Guerra: Staged Reading

APRIL 4th

Join us for a first look at “Consejo de Guerra (War Council),” a multimedia work exploring how new generations make meaning from ancestral trauma. Weaving documentary theater with critical fabulation, director-performer Héctor Álvarez reconstructs the circumstances surrounding his great-grandfather’s death at the hands of Fascist troops during the Spanish Civil War, and excavates buried truths about family, memory and historical violence. In this hybrid presentation, Álvarez and technology artist Attilio Rigotti will present a stage reading of the script and share selected scenes featuring their innovative use of archival footage and digital media.

At the Barricades: Staged Reading

APRIL 11th

As the culmination of their residency at NYU's Espacio de Culturas, the Neighbors will share a staged reading of the final “At the Barricades” script. The piece, which has been in development since 2022, will gather its cast and creative team for a reading ahead of the full production in June at MITU580 in Brooklyn. The piece, a multilingual documentary theatre play about the international troops fighting in the Spanish Civil War, is written by WWTNS? Co-Artistic Directors James Clements and Sam Hood Adrain, helmed by director Federica Borlenghi and supported by script supervisor Skye Pallo Ross. The project, which has been recognised by the National Endowment for the Arts in the 2024 cycle, the New York State Council on the Arts, the Cultural Development Fund at DCLA and the Brooklyn Arts Council, was developed at Brooklyn Art Haus and through a residency at NYU's Espacio de Culturas. The reading will be followed by a reception at Espacio de Culturas.
