by Sara Farrington

Directed by Evan Yes Foxy Films Theatre Company. HONDURAS is a solo piece based on true events, accounts, personal experiences from the Honduran immigrant mothers in the New York/New Jersey area, all of whom playwright Sara Farrington and her colleagues at Immigrant Families Together have supported. Each asylum seeking mother and child in this story crossed the border in the summer of 2018.

MUSICAL PERFORMANCE BY NEW CARACAS & ALEA following the show

New Caracas, together with Colombian singer-songwriter Alea, will present a song cycle inspired in the Latin American Diaspora, particularly, the Venezuelan migration crisis. The music of New Caracas, a project created and led by guitarist and composer Luis D’Elias, is anchored in the rhythms and traditions of South America, whilst embracing modern harmonies and contemporary songwriting, to elevate the musical inspiration found in the native rhythms of Venezuela, Colombia, Peru, Brazil, and Argentina.
