Nohayquiensepa (No one knows)
A Requiem for the Forcibly Displaced
The multiple Dora Award-winning Aluna Theatre presents the Toronto premiere of Nohayquiensepa (No one knows), a multimedia dance-theatre piece that explores how we react to the death of strangers both here and abroad and is a requiem for those who have been forced off their land. Directed by Aluna Theatre Artistic Producer Trevor Schwellnus, this innovative collective creation, in English and Spanish, previews March 13, opens March 15 and runs to March 27, 2011 at The Theatre Centre.
Inspired by events in a Colombian river town on the edge of great violence and by reports on the activities of Canadian mining conglomerates, artists from Canada, Colombia, Mexico, Serbia, Uruguay, and Venezuela investigate the connections between our lives here in Canada and those who live in places where human rights violations are common.
“…a visual tour de force. The show utilized recorded audio, visual projection, video, and nearly every other audio/visual trick in the theatrical book, to tell a non-narrative story of how violence creates collateral damage that effects us even when it’s committed against strangers. Brilliant, mesmerizing…”
