Yo and My Shadow
|
Why pay a psychiatrist when you can spend an evening with Fabián Arciniegas? This celebrated Columbian-Canadian opera singer will guide you with song and humour through a journey of migration, self-doubt, and, ultimately, acceptance, in a masterful blend of monologue, music, movement, and sharp wit. The musical repertoire stretches from haunting Latin American melodies to classical arias and unexpected comedic moments. “Yo and My Shadow” will leave you with reverence and awe for the resilience of the human spirit.
Opens July 21st for three performances, including one matinee. This production contains mature themes. Recommended for ages 13 and up. |
