SHOW DESCRIPTION

Connections to the past and to each other have been severed by dark forces that made us forget who we are and where we’ve come from. Set in the future where borders as we once knew them on Earth no longer exist, join our host/captain Maya as she travels through the ether to unite a crew of healers, artists, shapeshifters and timekeepers using prayers, poetry, movement and performance to uncover what became of the Central American Diaspora.

Featuring:
Kimberlynn Acevedo AKA DJ Femme Papi
Jose Richard Aviles
Maya Chinchilla
Roy Guzmán
Lulu Matute
Celia Sagastume and more
