How does theatrical adaptation open up a re-telling of a book to the communal, dynamic and ephemeral joys theater? What is the relationship between author, artist and adaptation in Latina/o Theater? What do adapters and directors look for when deciding to adapt pieces of literature for the stage? Join us for a panel conversation with acclaimed authors Sonia Nazario, author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel Enrique’s Journey and Magdalena Gomez, author of Shameless Woman a collection of poetry, and their theater collaborators – Directors Tony Garcia (Enrique’s Journey) and Rosalba Rolon (Dancing in My Cockroach Killers).

This historic, month-long event is the first national theater festival to bring together: more than nineteen theater companies, 150 artists from the U.S. and Puerto Rico, seventeen works that explore the Latina/o experience on stage, two Pulitzer Prize-winning works, stories of violence at the border, pressing immigration concerns, the complexities of romantic relationships and families, and various free events.

TERTULIA EVENTS
These free tertulias, produced by the LTC, will help to deepen the conversations brought up in the productions presented in the 2014 LATC Encuentro. A tertulia is a social gathering or “salon” with literary and artistic overtones, especially in Spain and Latin America, where people informally meet to talk about current affairs and the arts. Click here for a full schedule of tertulia events. 

Join us via livestream on HowlRound TV at howlround.tv as we call upon the expertise of national and Los Angeles-based artists and scholars to engage audience members in panels, dialogues, speeches and interactive events around diverse topics pertinent to the field.
