No Peeking Theatre, which presents immersive theater experience without the use of sight (you can read our review of their 2020 show Mother Leeds here), now presents Indigenous, an online theatrical presentation of the Native experience. 

No Peeking Theatre has begun a virtual reopening by producing its repertoire for an online experience that
is free to the public. On July 25th, it will release its second show online, titled Indigenous. 

Indigenous premieres July 25th at 8:00 PM (“doors open at 7:30) on Youtube Live. 

Indigenous is a compilation of stories, poems, songs, and narratives that  discuss the Indigenous experience. Following suit of previous shows like BLACKOUT and In Lak’ Ech, the show sets out to invoke a hard discussion by confronting issues through the vein of genuine experience. From blood quantum, stereotypes, and identity, to rituals, songs, and poems, Indigenous implores the audience to absorb some of the most authentic, beautiful, uncomfortable, ugly truths about who and what “America” really is.

Derived and retold from first hand accounts to third person research on case studies, Indigenous delves into understanding, respecting and exploring the experiences, truths, and culture with several viewpoints of and by Indigenous Peoples. This showcase is part of No Peeking Theatre’s mission to create a platform for underrepresented populations to have their inspirational and important stories told within the homogenous world of theater. No Peeking attempts to break that barrier with every show that it produces, encouraging diversity in every facet of production from design to acting to directing.

In addition to showcasing this work, No Peeking Theatre is accepting donations in order to pay the creators of the show.

Indigenous Creators:
Written by Kristina Acevedo, Luane Acevedo, Cynthya Blandino, Tureygua Inaru, Autumn Silvas, David Lee Herring, Tara Moses, Carla Bell, Josh Allamon, and Gabriel Cummings.
Designed by Joe Velez, Megan Bandelt, and Jennel Pruneda.

Photo by Natasha Rotondaro In 1948, Tennessee Williams published American Blues , a collection of five one-act plays, and a remarkable new production of this collection by Brooklyn's Irondale shows that these works have lost none of their power to both entertain and challenge audiences in the intervening three-quarters of a century. Comprising plays written in the decade between 1936 and 1946 - Moony's Kids Don't Cry (1936); The Dark Room (1939); The Case of the Crushed Petunias (1941); The Long Stay Cut Short, or, the Unsatisfactory Supper (1946); and Ten Blocks on the Camino Real (1946) - American Blues represents the second part of Irondale's American Century, the first install

Review: "How To Eat an Orange" Cuts into the Life of an Argentine Artist and Activist

How To Eat an Orange Written by Catherine Filloux Based on the writing of Claudia Bernardi Directed by Elena Araoz Presented by La MaMa Experimental Theatre Club at The Downstairs at La MaMa 66 E 4th St., Manhattan, NYC May 30-June 16, 2024 Paula Pizzi. Photo by Steven Pisano How To Eat an Orange , making its world premiere at La MaMa, does in fact include a real orange as a prop, and its multifarious symbolizations–evoking at different points cultural specificity, family history, matriarchal inheritance, and even a skull–are representative of the play's boundary-blurring, non-linear presentation of memory. The memories in question belong to visual artist, educator, and activist Claudia Bernardi , who lived through several years of her native Argentina's military junta, which held power from 1976 to 1983, before departing her country and eventually settling in the United States. How To Eat an Orange , from Catherine Filloux, a French Algerian American award-winning playwright,
