La Razón Blindada – Latinidades 6th Annual Theatre Festival
The 6th Annual Latinidades Festival & Symposium features six mainstage productions and various second-stage performances spanning theatre, dance, music, and poetry to highlight diverse Latin American voices. This year’s lineup includes the legendary Chicano theatre of the Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center (San Antonio), Venezuelan artists from Chicago, and a play written and directed by one of Latin America’s most important writers, Arístides Vargas. Additional performances will showcase artists from Spain, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Los Angeles, San Antonio, and Dallas’s own creative community.
Two political prisoners meet every Sunday to tell each other the story of Don Quixote and Sancho Panza. Through absurdist and physical comedy, La Razón Blindada reveals two men mischievously turn to storytelling to survive their new reality.
Drawing from Cervantes’ Don Quixote, Kafka’s The Truth About Sancho Panza, and testimonies from Argentine political prisoners of the 1970s, La Razón Blindada is a moving testament to the human need to imagine, to resist, and to persevere.
