afterLIFE | LatinX Theater Project
Performances of afterLIFE have been postponed and will be rescheduled. Please check back for updates as the Momentary and LatinX Theater Project work to find new opportunities to showcase this work.
What does heaven look like for BIPOC? LatinX Theatre Project (LXTP) will seek to flip the Euro/White/Colonialist religious iconography into a celebration of life after death. After individually responding to Nick Cave: Until, LXTP comes together as a company to build their collective story, offering up a shared community experience filled with spoken word, song, hip hop, movement, and dance. LatinX Theater Project will have multiple performances over the course of the weekend, allowing guests to visit during the time period of their choosing to ensure proper distancing in the Gallery.
afterLIFE is part of the Artist Responses to Nick Cave: Until.
Warning: This performance uses recorded gunshots.
Safety is the Momentary’s top priority. The Momentary is operating at a one-third capacity with staff monitoring onsite to ensure proper distancing is taking place. The Momentary requires visitors and staff to wear face coverings for ages 10 and older indoors and outdoors. Following the most recent recommendations from the CDC, face shields and face coverings with exhaust valves or vents are not allowed. Masks are available upon entry for those who do not have one.
ABOUT LATINX THEATRE PROJECT
LatinX Theatre Project (LXTP) is a socially-engaged theatre group of professionals and young artists-in-training that is committed to continuing an inclusive conversation about community identity through its devised theatre performances. The content of LXTP’s work not only includes original dialogue, movement, music, poetry, and rap; but also brings a focus to the authentic representation of Latinx voices in the arts and community. In its fourth year, the project continues to develop new performances for the community and educational pieces for schools in the Northwest Arkansas region. LXTP is unique in the composition of its artistic ensemble, and its distinctive approach to creating work that can be experienced outside of the traditional theatre venue suited to collaborate with multidisciplinary cultural, community, and educational organizations across the region.
