TEATRO FLOR CANDELA

We are interested in reaching under-served population of Dallas, in particular we are working in West and South Dallas. We have created a theater on wheel/teatro ambulante in the style of COMMEDIA DELL'ARTE (seventeen century actors travelling all over Europe to present in the town squares and in the royal palaces) with contemporary themes that reaches low income population. We believe that theater belongs to all and represents a fundamental part in the development of an individual. We have been very well received in public parks, recreation centers, libraries and low income retirement homes and asked to come back. During this difficult year we have moved completely in open spaces for rehearsal as well as to present our original production: Icaruses' Fugue. Two personal stories of two women meeting difficulties in their life and able to overcome them. Furthermore we have presented on the street of Jefferson Blvd. MASCARA al MIO CARDIO an attempt to communicate with the passersby.  
We are now presenting Ser terra/ Be Earth a production about our planet with aim of stimulating more love toward it. SerTerra/ BeEarth unfolds in multiple acts each of which draws inspirations from the unique sounds and choreography provided by Nature. Figures from indigenous cultures such as Maya (Mexico), Hopi (Arizona), Mamos (Columbia) and Icaras (Amazonia) express their way of living in tune with Nature, in contrast to scenes of destruction and abuse of the Planet by the western civilizations. There is no social justice without a healthy environment for all. Although these problems are widely exposed, it is important to redefine and to reach any section of the community.
