MUSICIANS
Jenny Burks is known for FBI (2018), Transformism and Undefined: A Muslim-American Musical (2017).
Juancho Herrera I am always in search of poetry in everyday life, looking for the metaphor which empowers, moves, and inspires. The guitar and my voice are my tools. The songs are my vehicle for self-exploration and connection with others, attempting to build a communal experience through music.
“To be someone in the world, you must come from somewhere” Pibo Marquez.
The sound of drums and the everyday poetry of the fields and the streets of the crowded cities from my native Colombia and Venezuela, are my inspiration.
Tales of everyday people who become extraordinary enacting the simple but challenging act of survival.
Always blessed by the waves of the Caribbean Sea, which is our door to the world. News, music, languages, and people, always arriving with their ideas and culture. Music from the US, Argentina, Peru, Cuba, Brazil, Mexico, New York salsa, British punk rock, Fusion Jazz, European classics, and the electronic age.
We are powerful and joyful when we are together pursuing common musical experiences.
Even though I am a New Yorker and a Latin American, my homeland is music, and my people are all who create in any shape or form.

Grace Laubacher (Set Design) I was originally trained in the humanities, and have a degree in film & cultural studies; my work stems from an interest in space an essential corollary to the human journey – a dynamic party to our emotional lives, histories, fantasies, and corporeal realities. To me, the relationship between humans and their environments is an endlessly fascinating and perplexing one, difficult to define in any universal sense, because it changes shape and meaning in every context – but for this very reason, it is an exciting storytelling medium, one that can trace and participate in a narrative journey.
