Event Details

Arte y Pasión is proud to present GRITO DE LOS ARBOLES: “Cry of the Trees” on Saturday, January 23 2021 in steaming format. In a forest, if one tree experiences distress, a tree at the other end of the forest is aware of it. The trees know this through the root system. Mankind has created a root system in response to this once in a century pandemic. GRITOS tells the story about how mankind has learned to act through our roots to survive and overcome.

The company of GRITO is Tamara Adira, Genevieve Obregon, Randy Cordero, Poet Laureate Andrea “VOCAB” Sanderson, with special guest artists TBA.

Arte y Pasión, led by dancer and artistic director, Tamara Adira, is a company known for pushing the boundaries of flamenco and Spanish dance. Each performance is a visually stunning theatrical event comprised of independent artists, each highly accomplished, who come together to form one of the most contemporary Spanish dance companies in the country.

Admission to the live stream is $10.

There are sponsorship levels available and a silent auction.

There will be a forum for Q&A with select artists following the streaming, on Zoom.

Registration/More Info

GRITO DE LOS ARBOLES is a nod to the scream of silence we feel during our experience of a pandemic the likes of which we haven’t seen in a century. Things are looking up for us; but only months ago, our streets were occupied by secret police acting with violence, only aggravating effects of the pandemic. We have been forced into our homes. Mental health issues and social disconnection has become the norm. During a time like this, arts are often the first to go. But it is the arts that will keep us alive. The music, dancing, logos that symbolize our beliefs, paintings that depict better times, songs about what we hope for tomorrow, make this a crucial time not only for artists and makers, but for anyone who wishes to express themselves. The streaming and online platforms we have used are our silent gritos, allowing us to connect with each other, just as trees do with their roots in a forest. We respond to the dark forces we have faced using the still quiet voice of digital power and art, effecting change from within. This kind of change is powerful: our voices and thoughts now reach across the world instantaneously, with more attention and connection. Our digital voices and thoughts that we are able to share enable us to continue living our lives, albeit in ways we never expected. We pursue happiness in ways we never expected; stilted, confined to our homes; yet free in ways we never dreamed.
