Micaela Mamede: Maria
Aug 30, 2018, 7:30 pm – 9:00 pm EDT
SOLD OUT
Gibney proudly presents an evening of work by Professional Training Student Micaela Mamede!
Deep, dark, poignant, and funny, “Maria” is an emotionally charged contemporary migrant’s tale produced and performed by non-U.S. born immigrant women and allies. Equal parts fantasy, autobiography, and ethnographic study, this interdisciplinary work-in-progress addresses limited accessibility, vulnerable relationships, and cultural estrangement as a consequence of lack of status. It follows the story of a young Portuguese woman who arrives in New York City ready to shine, but whose harsh realities transform her into a different kind of star.
