RUTAS 2022 by Aluna Theatre presents CACAO, A Venezuelan Lament

Accès

À propos

RUTAS (Sept 22- Oct 9) was born out of a desire to bring art from across the Americas to Toronto. To encounter new perspectives, voices and ideas, and to engage in conversations about art and human rights. In 2022 we celebrate the 5th edition of the RUTAS festival, and once more, we find ourselves at a pivotal time of change in this city, and around the world.

To open our festival this year, RUTAS brings the piece Cacao, A Venezuelan Lament by Victoria Mata.

Cacao | A Venezuelan Lament is a new live performance works about belonging, land and the preservation of traditions. Drawing on twelve years of community-based fieldwork, this polylingual and multidisciplinary dance and theatre production offers timely insight into the complex lived realities of Venezuela’s cacao farmers. Creator, Director and Choreographer Victoria Mata roots her vocabulary and aesthetics in the tensions between remembering and forgetting, and in a dynamic dialogue between Afro-Venezuelan genres and contemporary expressions of dance and music.

This is an outdoor, walk-up performance – there are no tickets needed to attend – just show up at Mel Lastman Square, Upper Rose Garden (5100 Yonge St) – a few steps south of the North York Centre Subway.

Presented with Aluna Theatre and the RUTAS 2022 International Festival and in partnership with TO Live, this dance theatre production is a festive outdoor live performance and will be a part of ArtworxTO: Toronto’s Year of Public Art.

The artistic mission of Aluna Theatre is to embrace the myriad of voices, cultures, and stories of our population, which are transforming the landscape of Canadian theatre. In our plays, works in translation, and international co-creations, people are complex individuals who exist beyond the restrictions of cultural labels. We encourage new hybrids of theatre evolved from a rich collaboration of experiences, performance traditions and media by engaging both emerging and established theatre professionals.
