In UndocuMonologues: Stories from our Undocumented Neighbors, Motus Theater’s undocumented monologists invite you into their homes to share autobiographical stories about their dreams, hopes, and fears. Their monologues interrupt the dehumanizing and racist anti-immigrant narratives around our nation and challenge people to acknowledge the danger to us all from the current threats facing the undocumented community, and take action.
Each monologue is followed by a musical response from the vocal ensemble the Storytellers 303, who fuse the power of song and narrative to build community. During this event you will also hear from student artists whose work is featured in the new Immigrant Art Journal, and from the student organization RISE, which provides a community to DACA, undocumented, refugee, and immigrant students.
Autobiographical monologues by Motus UndocuMonologists Cristian Solano-Cordova, Tania Chairez, and Alejandro Fuentes-Mena written in collaboration with Motus Theater Artistic Director, Kirsten Wilson. Performance presented by Motus Theater - creators of UndocuAmerica, Women of Resolution, Rocks Karma Arrows, and the Shoebox Stories Podcast.
Sponsored by the Immigrant Services Program at Metropolitan State University of Denver, an academic and social support program that aims to increase enrollment, retention, and graduation of undocumented, DACA, immigrant, and refugee students.
