Tertulia 2023 - Playbill

IATI Theater Presents:

TERTULIA

JANUARY 29, 2023

LATINX LED. GLOBALLY SOURCED. THEATER ON E. 4th ST.

IATI Theater is a Latinx company that aims to provoke introspection through cutting-edge performing arts, supporting multicultural, diverse, and underserved communities while harnessing and empowering unique voices.

We are artistic adventurers. Never shying away from the unknown, but fearlessly venturing into the new.

We take risks because we believe you can’t create something new without going somewhere that makes you a little bit uncomfortable. Some may say we’re a little different. We call it Vanguardia. Just take a look at our award-winning repertoire that highlights thought-provoking and universal issues of the human experience.

The Latin American culture is one of drama, sensuality, and laughter. We’re passionate about our Latin American roots. We believe cultural exploration is part of what makes our work so rich and relevant, whether it is dance, theater, or music.

We’re always asking questions. We’re never satisfied with the status quo. We are Todo Vanguardia.

About the Show

ter.tu.lia n. Spanish.

1. Event in which people meet to discuss a topic and exchange ideas.

2. In early XX century’s Madrid: a meeting where avant-garde writers developed their literary styles and discussed cultural influences, usually at a café.

For the past 20 years, IATI has organized Tertulias for artists to present new works and build community and collaborations.

Many works initially presented at our Tertulias have continued their development journey, and we’re excited to see what is to come for the compelling, delicate, and experimental works we’re presenting this year.

The tradition of Tertulia sets IATI Theater apart in the NYC community, and we hope to continue bringing new voices to our stage for another 200 years!
