Kulunka Theater Company Presents: Andre y Dorine
May 20, 2020
Brava Theater Center
2781 24th St, San Francisco, CA 94110
In a small room where memories hung over the walls, Andre and Dorine live just like many old couples do: gently decaying from routine and neglect. But an event comes to break the monotony: Alzheimer's, a devourer of memory and of identity itself. The couple needs to remember who they were, so as not to forget who they are. Kulunka Teatro has created a piece of thoroughly contemporary and committed mask theatre that transcends language barriers. With no words, uplifting and thought provoking, it explores important themes with warmth and humor.
Trailer More details to be announced.
Recurring Events
Healing Circle
Smith Center will be offering an online Healing Circle via Zoom with David “Lucky” Goff and Wendy Miller. Those who have been most gravely tested by life have the most loss, and potentially the most to gain. Yet it is in how we respond to these conditions - which come in many complex and subtle forms such as grief, illness, injury, injustice, war, and other unknown heartbreaks - that defines us and defines our life.
This bi-monthly circle is an opportunity to create a cyberspace community, connecting with others as we learn to grow through the hardships we have experienced in life, not in spite of them, but because of them. Healing becomes a by-product from our shared culture of community, connection, and mystery. In such a community, our flames of creativity can be lit, as we discover ourselves as more sensitized and adaptive human beings.
