the Nouveau Sud project

Driven by the growing presence of Central Americans in Charlotte and triggered by the recent discoveries on the Calvario (Calvary) that is crossing Mexico for most immigrants, the Nouveau Sud project embarked in a theatrical investigation with the goal of creating a Contemporary Circus piece that would bring attention to the treacherous journey that some of our community members endure, while making this story accessible to an all inclusive audience. Masks, acrobatics and and the flying image of a train will serve as guiding light for our audiences in this journey. La Bestia is an interactive experience on and off the stage; community workshops and post shows conversations are included.
