And in May 2021, En Garde Arts produced two in-person live events in Lower Manhattan. A Dozen Dreams—the culmination of a yr of creative conversations and the tireless work of dozens of artists—a labyrinth of 12 beautifully designed dreamscapes, each a unique multi-dimensional representation of the pandemic dreams of a dozen women playwrights. And Downtown Live, a new performing arts festival with 36 performances over 2 weekends, presented past The Downtown Brotherhood in association with The Tank, offered alive theatre, gimmicky functioning and music from a lineup that featured many Obie Laurels and Pulitzer Prize winners, as well every bit emerging voices.

Program Notes

FROM THE PLAYWRIGHT

"I didn't write this play lonely. It was born from and shaped past the voices of many: those of the generous people who allowed me to interview them, some of whom knew me for years and others to whom I was new, but who nevertheless entrusted me with their stories; the voices of my own migrant parents and our family'south journeys from Republic of chile and Republic of costa rica and dorsum and along again, and those of my relatives forced into exile, whose freedom of movement was taken away; the voices of my collaborators sharing their own immigrant stories; and those whose voices I didn't get to know personally, just whose histories and ingenuity, cries and songs fill the city, its spaces, the air we take in, and whom nosotros run into every twenty-four hour period, fifty-fifty if we don't realize it—or close our eyes and ears to it.

"Then when you listen to this play, you are also hearing the "existent" Mariposa, and also the cousins Rédin, Sergio and Jhonatan, and the young Bronxite Manuela, and the unstoppable Pilar Perez, who can now share her full name and who dedicates her life to working with students and teachers and, together, creating new inventions and ways of seeing (and trying to fix) the world. And Adriana V., a dear friend and artist who had to reinvent herself here, and Teresa who helps others escape from corruption, and all of the actors and artists who shared their time and hearts to aid this piece detect itself along the way—including the NYC fandangueros who invited me (and all of us) into their community with such warmth.

"To emigrate is a radical human action of imagination. Yous leave your domicile, most everything and everyone you know and love, the person you were—in order to motion downwards an uncertain (and often dangerous) path, towards a place y'all've never been. Y'all must picture show yourself in this imagined place, living an imagined existence. How will you move through that world? How will people care for you lot? How will you lot re-create yourself—or can y'all? It's an act of transformation that requires a caterpillar's surrender and sense of purpose and vision that transcends immediate, earth-bound circumstances, and the fragility and persistence of a butterfly who keeps flying through hardship and hostility. And it needs coyotes—from the Nahuatl word "coyotl"—who aid or hinder you on that path. Figures who embody duality, like the Aztec deity Huehuecoyotl, they tin crusade mischief and impairment, but are also storytellers who tin seduce other gods and slyly circumvent obstacles, finding and opening new paths, not just on land but in our souls.

"Thank you lot for coming with us on this journeying."

—Andrea Thome

FROM THE Artistic DIRECTOR

"Fandango for Butterflies (and Coyotes) premiered in New York in Feb of 2020 at La MaMa. Written by Andrea Thome, directed by Jose Zayas and composed by Sinuhé Padilla, it was the result of over ii and a half years of development, a new theatrical production bringing the stories of undocumented immigrants to light. They came from Latin America and come together on the evening of an ICE raid for a fandango, a celebration of music and dance. They face up worries about their families dorsum dwelling house and frustration at an inability to come across them, perhaps ever again, fears for their loved one's safety coming over the edge and fears for their own safety, so they come together to find community through song and dance. The production sold out at La MaMa, was a The New York Times Critic's Selection and then embarked on a v borough tour when it was shut downward due to Covid just as we had loaded into Lehman Stages in the Bronx.

It's a testament to the strength of Fandango that it'south coming back, despite Covid, despite the passage of fourth dimension. Sadly, with the crunch at our southern border and the exodus of refugees from Transitional islamic state of afghanistan, it is more than relevant today than ever before. Fandango was non only a labor of love for En Garde Arts, but lives on through the partnership of our creative collaborators: developmental back up at the Orchard Project, product support from La MaMa, LaGuardia Performing Arts Center, Snug Harbor Cultural Centre, Lehman College and special thanks for providing a home for its return to New York, St. Ann & the Holy Trinity Church building in New York City. Lastly, nosotros are greatly appreciative of the support we are receiving from Penn Land and University of Maryland who are hosting u.s. this year. We are no strangers to either of these campuses and what comes to mind is an ofttimes used phrase, "It takes a village."

With beloved and appreciation,

—Annie Hamburger
