Performances will take place at The Chocolate Factory Theater, 38-33 24th Street, Long Island City.
In Tacos de Lengua, Martita Abril continues her ongoing exploration of her – and our – relationship to border life, and its distortions, contradictions, oppressions, and deep emotional resonance. Inviting audiences into a layered, multisensory experience – incorporating a performance by Mexican banda ensemble Directos de la Sierra, the onstage presence of Martita’s mother, and a mezcal offering – Tacos de Lengua introspectively navigates the dualities of identity, resistance, separation, geography, and mirroring; seeking not only to question borders of all types, but to reimagine them.
Created and Performed by Martita Abril in collaboration with a team of artists and familia: Martha Abril Quiñones, Dylan Ellis, lily gold, Quique Rios-Ellis, Tia Raquel Quiñonez (La Tolingo), Tuçe Yasak, Josh Ray, and Directos de la Sierra.
