Welcome to Imagi*Nation
Welcome to Imagi*Nation is a “Choose-Your-Own-Adventure” multimedia dance theater immersive experience inspired by Eduardo Galeano’s book Open Veins of Latin America. This piece begins with the conflict between two fictional nations over natural resources and labor shortages. While performers are searching for conflict resolution, the audience will experience the motivations and consequences of migration. This piece reflects the relationship between the US and Latin America within the frame of industry, economy, and migration.
