’Invisible Lines’ Motus Theater seeks to help us overcome our disconnection and be a part of the change by Caitlin Rockett
ON THE BILL: INVISIBLE LINES — presented by Motus Theater. 2 and 7 p.m. March 5-8, Dairy Arts Center, Grace Gamm Theater, 2590 Walnut St., Boulder. Tickets at thedairy. org.
On Feb. 27, the day this edition hits newsstands, Rosa Sabido will have been in sanctuary at Mancos United Methodist Church for 1,000 days. That’s two years and seven months inside the small adobe building on Grand Avenue. She’s lost a lot over those thousand days: big things, like her mother and her five dogs, and little things, like the view of Sleeping Ute Mountain from the front porch of her home in nearby Cortez. Unable to leave the church for fear of being picked up by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Sabido was unable to attend her mother’s funeral in 2018. Sabido — a native of Mexico who’s called Southwest Colorado home for more than 30 years — was one of nearly 40 undocumented immigrants publicly known to have sought sanctuary in the United States in 2017. That year began the largest wave of sanctuary-seeking immigrants in the United States since the 1980s, a result of the Trump administration’s rolling back of Obama-era policies that provided immigrants without criminal records — people like Sabido — protection from deportation.
What has remained in place from the Obama administration is a 2011 policy that designated churches, hospitals and schools as “sensitive locations,” places where ICE has been told not to enter and arrest undocumented immigrants. With the Trump administration recently announcing plans to deploy law enforcement tactical units to sanctuary cities around the country, it’s easy to wonder how long churches will remain safe places for immigrants. In March 2018, Boulder Weekly’s Joel Dyer set out on the first leg of a project that aims to photograph and interview everyone in the United States who has taken public sanctuary in a church to avoid deportation. Sabido was one of the people he visited. When Dyer started the Windows, Walls and Invisible Lines project, there were an estimated 25 to 30 people in 22 states who had taken public sanctuary. The best estimate for people who had taken nonpublic sanctuary in the United States was just over 100. So far, Dyer has visited 21 people in sanctuary in nine states. March 5-8, Motus Theater will present Invisible Lines, based on Dyer’s photographs and reporting thus far. While Motus has always aimed to facilitate dialog around difficult social justice issues, Invisible Lines is the company’s most collaborative theater experience yet, providing improvisational reenactments of stories from Dyer’s project, but also inviting the audience to reflect on how to use their individual skills to find a solution to what artistic director Kirsten Wilson calls a human rights crisis.
“We may lose DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) in June and if we do, almost half my staff and the majority of my performers will not be able to work THOSE BUILDINGS ON THE ROOFTOP by Rosa Sabito Like monsters, always looking at me, like taller walls of a prison without end. They are silent neighbors, witnesses of my lost sight when I look around and nothing changes. I can almost listen, the tick tock of that big clock, where the time is always the same. ...Always the same... Always the same… This poem is about Ded Rranxburgaj (above) who has been in sanctuary in Detroit, Michigan, for more than two years.
VICKY CHAVEZ, in Sanctuary in Salt Lake City, says the only time she can allow herself to be sad is when her children are asleep.

or travel in safety any longer. I get really creative when I get afraid because I love people and I want them to have the same opportunities that my own child has, and I know that anytime someone’s human rights or options are diminished so with that goes the safety and the democracy and the possibilities for my kid. So it’s a selfish desire and also a strategic desire to be part of creating a democracy that I thought was possible.
“I think a lot of people are feeling really powerless right now,” Wilson says. “I feel like Motus has the opportunity to love people up so that they can show up the way they want to show up for a human rights crisis. If they don’t figure out how to, they will continue to feel more and more shut down.” Invisible Lines will include some workshop-like components such as shared storytelling where audience members can reflect on their experiences with immigration and sanctuary, but also more traditional elements of theater where stories are acted out to live music. Wilson says the audience will be mobile in the Grace Gamm Theater, “in order to feel themselves differently in
relation to these stories.”
“We will be doing brief check-ins with the audience about how they’re handling the stress of watching a human rights crisis happening and knowing it’s happening,” Wilson says. “How do they negotiate the gap, the distance of their privilege and disconnection from those issues and their desire to be part of a change? We’re coming into this performance with the idea that everyone is hungry for their humanity: to feel it, to experience it, to express it. We will be discovering as a group what we can do in order to feel our impact in terms of addressing some of the issues at hand and be reminded of our power.”
And even from the confines of the tiny adobe church in Mancos, Colorado, Rosa Sabido will contribute to Invisible Lines via several poems she penned about other immigrants in sanctuary from Dyer’s original project.
One of the poems is about Vicky Chavez, a mother from Honduras who has been in sanctuary in Salt Lake City with her two young daughters for more than two years.
“Oh, my little angels,” Sabido writes, “you may think I am saving you / but you are saving me / They talk about keeping children in cages / yet I was forced to wall you in / take away your sky, your earth, your flying feet / I hope one day you can forgive me.”
“I know Vicky because we have a weekly video conference with other people in sanctuary,” Sabido says in a phone interview. “So I know how Vicky is, how she feels, and that touched me even more when I saw her picture [with her daughters.]”
On Feb. 27, on her 1,000th day in sanctuary, a group of her supporters will to deliver a petition to Rep. Scott Tipton in Durango urging him to craft legislation that will halt Sabido’s deportation order and free her from sanctuary.
“The minimum required for them to pay attention to the issue is 1,500 signatures; we got over 1,200 more [than that],” Sabido says. “So that could mean a lot to me and not necessarily mean anything to the congressmen. We are not a priority. They don’t want to risk their seats just for one person.” THURSDAY FEBRUARY 27 7:00 PM LIVE TALK: SCIENCE OF SCI-FI - GALACTIC NAVIGATION: A TOURIST’S GUIDE TO TRAVELING THE MILKY WAY 8:30 PM LASER BOWIE

I Emma Woodhouse (Anya Taylor-Joy) is hand- some, clever and rich. She’s also a bit of a wreck- ing ball — the kind who thinks she’s holding the world together, when she’s the one holding on for dear life. And if she spent a little less time model- ing Harriet Smith (Mia Goth) and a little more time with George Knightly (Johnny Flynn), then various friends and family members might have a more agreeable time. Adapted by Eleanor Cat- ton and directed by first-timer Autumn de Wilde, whose resume includes a respectable number of music videos, ‘Emma.’ is an earnest adaptation of Jane Aus- tin’s 1815 novel with a lackluster pace. Taylor-Joy nails Emma’s incredulity, and Goth plays Harriet as a girl composed of innocuous giggles. Coupled with the costume designs, they are the best parts — as is Bill Nighy as Mr. Woodhouse, a man end- lessly searching for the source of that infernal draft. But Flynn’s Knightly lacks brooding, de Wilde’s adaptation lacks momentum, and ‘Emma.’ comes to a full stop before it even gets started. —MJC

But her latest young runaway is having a profound influence on her teenage daughter, forcing each girl to question her destiny. Playing at John Hand Theater in Denver through March 14.

ARIES MARCH 21-APRIL 19: You may sometimes reach a point where you worry that conditions are not exactly right to pursue your dreams or fulfill your holy quest. Does that describe your current situation? If so, I invite you to draw inspiration from Spanish writer Miguel de Cervantes (1547-1616), who’s regarded as one of history’s foremost novelists. Here’s how one observer described Cervantes during the time he was working on his masterpiece, the novel titled Don Quixote: “shabby, obscure, disreputable, pursued by debts, with only a noisy tenement room to work in.” Cervantes dealt with imperfect conditions just fine.
TAURUS APRIL 20-MAY 20: “True success is figuring out your life and career so you never have to be around jerks,” says Taurus filmmaker, actor and author John Waters. I trust that you have been intensely cultivating that kind of success in the last few weeks, Taurus — and that you will climax this wondrous accomplishment with a flourish during the next few weeks. You’re on the verge of achieving a new level of mastery in the art of immersing yourself in environments that bring out the best in you.
GEMINI MAY 21-JUNE 20: I would love for you to become more powerful, Gemini — not necessarily in the sense of influencing the lives of others, but rather in the sense of managing your own affairs with relaxed confidence and crisp competence. What comes to mind when I urge you to expand your self-command and embolden your ambition? Is there an adventure you could initiate that would bring out more of the swashbuckler in you?
CANCER JUNE 21-JULY 22: For my Cancerian readers in the Southern Hemisphere, this oracle will be in righteous alignment with the natural flow of the seasons. That’s because February is the hottest, laziest, most spacious time of year in that part of the world — a logical moment to take a lavish break from the daily rhythm and escape on a vacation or pilgrimage designed to provide relaxation and renewal. Which is exactly what I’m advising for all of the earth’s Cancerians, including those in the Northern Hemisphere. So for those of you above the equator, I urge you to consider thinking like those below the equator. If you can’t get away, make a blanket fort in your home and pretend. Or read a book that takes you on an imaginary journey. Or hang out at an exotic sanctuary in your hometown.
LEO JULY 23-AUG. 22: Leo author Walter Scott (1771-1832) was a pioneer in the genre of the historical novel. His stories were set in various eras of the Scottish past. In those pre-telephone and pre-internet days, research was a demanding task. Scott traveled widely to gather tales from keepers of the oral tradition. In accordance with current astrological omens, Leo, I recommend that you draw inspiration from Scott’s old-fashioned approach. Seek out direct contact with the past. Put yourself in the physical presence of storytellers and elders. Get first-hand knowledge about historical events that will inspire your thoughts about the future of your life story.
VIRGO AUG. 23-SEPT. 22: Over a period of 40 years, the artist Rembrandt (1606-1663) gazed into a mirror as he created more than 90 self-portraits — about 10% of his total work. Why? Art scholars don’t have a definitive answer. Some think he did self-portraits because they sold well. Others say that because he worked so slowly, he himself was the only person he could get to model for long periods. Still others believe this was his way of cultivating self-knowledge, equivalent to an author writing an autobiography. In the coming weeks, I highly recommend that you engage in your personal equivalent of extended mirror-gazing. It’s a favorable time to understand yourself better.
LIBRA SEPT. 23-OCT. 22: From author Don DeLillo’s many literary works, I’ve gathered five quotes to serve as your guideposts in the coming weeks. These observations are all in synchronistic alignment with your current needs. 1) Sometimes a thing that’s hard is hard because you’re doing it wrong. 2) You have to break through the structure of your own stonework habit just to make yourself listen. 3) Something is always happening, even on the quietest days and deep into the night, if you stand a while and look. 4) The world is full of abandoned meanings. In the commonplace, I find unexpected themes and intensities. 5) What we are reluctant to touch often seems the very fabric of our salvation.
SCORPIO OCT. 23-NOV. 21: “I remember a time when a cabbage could sell itself just by being a cabbage,” wrote Scorpio author Jean Giraudoux (1882-1944). “Nowadays it’s no good being a cabbage — unless you have an agent and pay him a commission.” He was making the point that for us humans, it’s not enough to simply become good at a skill and express that skill; we need to hire a publicist or marketing wizard or distributor to make sure the world knows about our offerings. Generally, I agree with Giradoux’s assessment. But I think that right now it applies to you only minimally. The coming weeks will be one of those rare times when your interestingness will shine so brightly, it will naturally attract its deserved attention. Your motto, from industrialist Henry J. Kaiser: “When your work speaks for itself, don’t interrupt.”
SAGITTARIUS NOV. 22-DEC. 21: When he was 29 years old, Sagittarian composer Ludwig Beethoven published his String Quartet, Op. 18, No. 4. Most scholars believe that the piece was an assemblage of older material he had created as a young man. A similar approach might work well for you in the coming weeks, Sagittarius. I invite you to consider the possibility of repurposing tricks and ideas that weren’t quite ripe when you first used them. Recycling yourself makes good sense.
CAPRICORN DEC. 22-JAN. 19: Are there parts of your life that seem to undermine other parts of your life? Do you wish there was greater harmony between your heart and your head, between your giving and your taking, between your past and your future? Wouldn’t it be wonderful if you could infuse your cautiousness with the wildness of your secret self? I bring these questions to your attention, Capricorn, because I suspect you’re primed to address them with a surge of innovative energy. Here’s my prediction: Healing will come as you juxtapose apparent opposites and unite elements that have previously been unconnected.
AQUARIUS JAN. 20-FEB. 18: When he was 19, the young poet Robert Graves joined the British army to fight in World War I. Two years later, the Times of London newspaper reported that he had been killed at the Battle of the Somme in France. But it wasn’t true. Graves was very much alive, and continued to be for another 69 years. During that time, he wrote 55 books of poetry, 18 novels and 55 other books. I’m going to be bold and predict that this story can serve as an apt metaphor for your destiny in the coming weeks and months. Some dream or situation or influence that you believed to be gone will in fact have a very long second life filled with interesting developments.
PISCES FEB. 19-MARCH 20: If you’re like most of us, you harbor desires for experiences that might be gratifying in some ways but draining in others. If you’re like most of us, you may on occasion get attached to situations that are mildly interesting, but divert you from situations that could be amazingly interesting and enriching. The good news, Pisces, is that you are now in a phase when you have maximum power to wean yourself from these wasteful tendencies. The coming weeks will be a favorable time to identify your two or three most important and exciting longings — and take a sacred oath to devote yourself to them above all other wishes and hopes.
Hometown heroes 2020 Boulder Jewish Film Festival to play Dairy Arts Center by Michael J. Casey
March might be the best month for Boulder moviegoers. From the smattering of archival prints unspooling at CU-Boulder’s International Film Series to the delightfully bizarre and thought-provoking images beaming from the Brakhage Center Symposium (March 14-15). From regional premieres and climate-minded documentaries at the Boulder International Film Festival (March 5-8) to the always-popular and equally international Boulder Jewish Film Festival (March 4-15).
And the eighth Boulder Jewish Film Festival (BJFF) kicks off with a celebration of a hometown hero: Dave Grusin. Born June 26, 1934, in Littleton, Colorado, Grusin studied music at CU-Boulder, graduating in 1956 before heading off to Hollywood and an award-winning career as composer and songwriter. His most notable contribution
will probably always be his work on 1967’s The Graduate, but it was his score for 1988’s The Milagro Beanfield that finally netted him an Oscar.
Grusin has always had a close connection with Boulder — including appearances at the Conference on World Affairs, notably as a dueling pianist against brother Don Grusin — so it’s only fitting BJFF kicks off March 4 with Dave Grusin: Not Enough Time, a loving documentary directed by Barbara Bentree, herself an alumna of CU-Boulder’s College of Music. Bentree will be in person for the opening night festivities.
Both BJFF screenings of Not Enough Time are currently sold out (check thedairy. org should additional seats open or shows added), but, considering the close ties between Bentree and Grusin to the city, there will be plenty of opportunities to catch the doc in the future.
That’s not necessarily the case with the rest of BJFF’s slate. For many of the movies screened, BJFF is the only time audiences will have a chance to see them on the theater screen, if at all.
Not sure where to start? Try something humorous: BJFF offers several options. Born in Jerusalem and Still Alive won Best Film at the 2019 Jerusalem Film Festival for writer/director/actor Yossi Atia’s light-hearted look at the effects of daily trauma on the Israeli psyche. Also in the comedy vein: Holy Lands stars James Caan as Harry, a grumpy old man who decides to retire to Israel and start a pig farm.
Like many of the films playing BJFF, the above are concerned primarily with Jewish identity. As is The Spy Behind Home Plate — the almost unbelievable story of Moe Berg, a major league catcher during baseball’s Golden Age (the 1920s and ’30s) who was an OSS spy during World War II, and helped undermine Germany’s efforts to develop and build an atomic bomb. (Should the documentary pique your interest, Paul Rudd played Berg in the 2018 drama, The Catcher Was a Spy.) More than 15 features and two short film packages will screen at this year’s BJFF, all of them at Dairy Arts Center. Like previous BJFFs, there will be conversations, talkbacks and various receptions throughout the festival. And, like previous BJFFs, screenings will sell out fast.

Were you just looking at your phone or computer?
According to an American Optometric Association survey, 62% of respondents spent 5 or more hours on their digital devices every day. The blue light from those devices contributes to sleep loss for some. There is also concern that the blue light may be aging eyes and could eventually cause retinal problems.

The good news is that blue light blocking glasses lenses have improved immensely. The newest lenses block a more targeted range so they are not “orange-y.” And they don’t have to have that purple reflection.
Maybe it’s time for a new pair.

MARY’S CURRY CHICKEN SALAD. $14. SALT, 1047 Pearl St., Boulder, saltthebistro.com
TRY THIS WEEK: Mary’s Curry Chicken Salad @ SALT
WE’RE NOT SURE WHO MARY IS, but she sure knows what she’s doing. Even in the dead of winter, this salad is appealing. A generous portion of fresh kale is laid with creamy, robust curry chicken salad; tender GMO-free chicken pieces are mixed with just the right amount of curry spice. Adorned with shaved multi-colored carrots, toasted almonds and house-made polenta croutons, the dish comes alive with the addition of an apple cider vinaigrette. There’s a reason SALT has won accolades for its fresh, local offerings and glutenfree menu. (This salad is only served at lunch, by the way.)
