March 28 — Teatro de las Américas to present ‘Inventing Life,’ doc/film

Inventing Life is a doc/film about Tell Tale, a theatre-dance piece that engages the authors and their two children. A piece of life on stage, that should have opened in California and Oregon in April 2020, remaining on the verge of our common uncertain future. An engaging, poetic work about the unfinished: a search to elevate the present to a mutual encounter between distant human beings.

The documentary has been filmed in theaters, locations in wild nature and in abandoned spaces: a theater company working in the absence of live performing. A proof of necessity. A dialogue with nature and with a theatre crowded by absents.

The film will be shared via Teatro Patalos YouTube channel in a link that will be shared below: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCX9AL2DPyR40HvUOmaMJ8Cw/featured

Please support our Italian actor friends who have created a documentary with the Covid theme. Teatro Patalo was supposed to be part of our Oxnard Teatro 2020 but the pandemic changed everything. A talk back with the actors via zoom following day Mar 29, 9AM/PT, info soon.

ALSO COMING SOON…….

Plays videoed in our new space, outside live performances, and summer theater camp are in the near future.

These projects supported by the City of Oxnard Arts in Public Places Grant Program and the Oxnard Cultural Arts Commission, an Organization that creates a supportive environment, interweaving the arts in the fabric of everyday Oxnard life.
