| Notes: | part of Emerging Identities: Bodies on the Line. Actor-writer-educator-advocate Cornelius Jones, Jr. will co-produce a new one-play festival in association with New York University's Gallatin School for Individualized Study. These works deal with identity through connecting personal experiences to political issues that affect people of color in the United States. Dealing with US/Mexico border culture and politics, black male fatherhood, and masculinity/sexuality in performance, these performances ask the question, what happens when you put your body on the line? | |||||
| Synopsis: | Stitching Stories Across the Mexican "American" Border by Yadira De La Riva is a woman's coming-of-age story through fences, concrete, citizenship papeles, immigration policies and booby traps of the El Paso, Texas and Ciudad Juarez border between the United States and Mexico. Through this Journey she attempts to stitch the border wound of her identity, family and community back together. - nytheatre.com | |||||
