7 DAYS, SEPT. 18: “TRUMP CAME TO RIO RANCHO”

SMASH THAT PATRIARCHY Right on, SFR! By featuring the billboard erected by the Maggie Toulouse Oliver for Senate campaign, I hope you helped many people see, and begin to understand, what a fearless and innovative woman can bring to the table in this patriarchal time of the orange catastrophe and Moscow Mitch.

I hope that you continue to feature, highlight, and then endorse Maggie Tolouse Oliver for the US Senate. Maggie is the real deal.

built was required to have, and did have 14 affordable units. Of the 14 units, only seven of the owners live there full time. Two of the units have changed their “characterization” through mortgage payoff or sale to a buyer who would not be characterized as in need. All of the other owners rent their homes out, I assume at the Santa Fe going rate.

From what I have heard, the city does not care, or cannot do anything about it.

This truly flies in the face of the concept. If the city is going to require affordable units, and I think they should, there needs to be a means by which the concept is monitored so as to fulfill the objective.

Editor’s note: The image of the billboard we ran last week was paid for by the ACLU, but the Toulouse Oliver campaign also erected a different billboard in Rio Rancho.

Keep on Keeping On COURTESY JULIA GOLDBERG

y first job at the Santa Fe Reporter was as an unpaid intern in the early 1990s. I actually didn’t get the job the first go round, but I brushed off the rejection and, as soon as I saw the name of the person who had gotten the gig disappear from the masthead, contacted the editor and reminded him he’d said I was the second choice.

Intern turned into calendar editor, music editor and then staff writer. I came and went a few times during the decade—for grad school and another reporting job—but returned as a full-time staff writer in 1997.

Three years later, I became editor, a job I held for close to 11 years.

I had the opportunity during my time as editor to work with many talented people. Dan Frosch, now a reporter for the Wall Street Journal, penned a 15-part series on private prisons, a series that received recognition from Investigative Reporters & Editors. Corey Pein, author of Live Work Work Work Die: A Journey into the Savage Heart of Silicon Valley, won SFR an award for multimedia journalism with his feature on wealth in Santa Fe. Dave Maass, now a senior investigate researcher at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, garnered accolades for his look at how Santa Fe would fare under a zombie attack.

But the decade was also one of massive changes in the newsroom, the most salient of which was the internet. I oversaw the launch of the Reporter’s first website and its first forays into multimedia reporting. Then, as now, the Reporter’s staff was small and hardworking, doing a lot with a little, and always with the mission of serving the community of Santa Fe. The Reporter was founded in 1974 as part of a movement of alternative newsweeklies with a commitment to longer-form narrative journalism, muckraking and individual voice. Like all other print journalism outlets, alternative newsweeklies have suffered financially over the last decade and newspapers at the vanguard of the movement, such as The Village Voice, have closed. The financial challenges of print journalism have only tightened, and the need for local journalism has only grown stronger.

I spent the last seven years teaching journalism at Santa Fe University of Art and Design. The school’s closure coincided with the Reporter’s new nonprofit, the New Mexico Fund for Public Interest Journalism, and I have happily served as both president and mentor for the fund’s intern training program. My early days as an intern fed my commitment to journalism, and I look forward to helping the next generation of journalists discover the rewards of telling stories that matter.

I plan to do the same, and will return to SFR next month to regularly write about community and technology, while also plunging into a political season in which we—by which I mean voters, Santa Feans and anyone paying the slightest attention to the world—need all hands on deck.

Join us and help SFR keep on keeping on as a Friend of the Reporter.

Basketball courts sit on the Tierra Contenta land where the city hopes to build a teen center.

A Need for Two Development of a design for a Southside teen center plods on without an estimated completion date or enough funds yet to finish

B Y K AT H E R I N E L E W I N k a t h e r i n e @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

A

place that Southside youth can call their own has been slowly—very slowly—taking shape on several acres now sandwiched between the growing Tierra Contenta neighborhood, the Southside Library, Capital High School and Otero Middle School.

First came the Zona del Sol Youth and Family Center, a collection of nonprofits offering some services for kids and families, including EarthCare, the Boys and Girls Club and the YMCA. It has also hosted community meetings with the mayor and continuing education in Spanish for adults. Next to the building is a fresh-looking basketball court with six hoops paid for by the Kiwanis Club in 2016.

But as the population on the Southside has increased and diversified, it’s become clear to District 3 councilors, past and present, as well as community members, that a bigger building with a gymnasium is needed for youth.

“Zona [del Sol] is not big enough,” District 3 Councilor Roman Abeyta, who is also the Boys and Girls Club executive director, tells SFR. “For it to be successful, it’s going to need a gymnasium. If you look at the Chavez Center, all you have to

do is go to the gym to see that’s where all the teens are.”

The first phase of a full-blown youth center for the Southside is closer to fruition than it has ever been, according to the city, but it’s still in the dream stage.

A contract with the nonprofit EarthCare for $21,646 aims to engage local teens and families in the conceptualization process before an architect takes over.

“EarthCare is utilizing a method to have teens lead the conversation that will not only provide input on teens’ needs for the center but also build their capacity in civic engagement and leadership,” a city spokeswoman writes to SFR via email.

“EarthCare has been operating in that neighborhood for years [and] are uniquely suited for this role. They will also incorporate input from past teen summits and build in planning done to date.”

Officials developed two early concepts for a teen center in Tierra Contenta: one in 2010 and another in 2016. The city is once again contracting with an architect firm, Spears Horn Architects, to create another conceptual design based on past plans and input from EarthCare’s engagement sessions, which are set to finish in November.

Abeyta hopes the teen center will include a variety of health and educational programming for youth and adults, as

well as more space to bring in state programs.

“Education is important … and access to information when it comes to health and wellness,” Abeyta says. “I think primarily what we want it to be is a hub where different agencies can go in. For example, you could offer part of the building for drivers ed classes or evening classes for GED prep or work prep.”

The city says the next steps for the teen center call for programming and operational planning, then the design and construction of a 10,000-square-foot facility. There’s no estimated completion date since a design isn’t ready and funding isn’t fully secured. Officials hope to have a design, an updated cost estimate and a project delivery plan by January 2020. But it depends on a variety of sources for money.

This will be one of the few public investments in a long time. The building we’re in is one of the few, aside from the library across the street.

-Miguel Acosta, co-director of EarthCare

The state Legislature set aside $1.1 million for the teen center during the 2019 session and the city matched it with $1 million from its gross-receipts tax revenue. According to a city spokeswoman, the city is hoping for another $3 million and has identified it among top capital funding priorities for next year.

For some in Santa Fe, the need for a teen center on the Southside is wellknown. It’s been on the table for decades.

“Aside from schools, there’s pretty much no public investment in this area,” says Miguel Acosta, the co-director of EarthCare. “This will be one of the few public investments in a long time. The building we’re in is one of the few, aside from the library across the street.”

But Abeyta tells SFR that the recession hitting Santa Fe around 2010 helped to slow the development of a Southside teen center.

The city has long supported the Warehouse 21 teen center in the Railyard near downtown, and that organization was once part of the Southside plan, but it’s no longer a thriving aspect of youth life here.

Former District 3 Councilor Carmichael Dominguez and Acosta say many teenagers in Santa Fe, especially in the southern districts, can’t or don’t use the programing at Warehouse 21, which is why Dominguez has been calling for a second youth center for so many years.

No one from the northside teen center returned SFR’s request for comment.

“Frankly, just as there are different priorities among adults, there are among youth as well,” Dominguez tells SFR. “Warehouse 21 doesn’t appeal to some of the youth in the [Southside] community.

It’s hard to get to. … It’s a different demographic that goes there. There’s a need for two.”

What determines how much water flows down the Santa Fe River?

2.

True or false: second homes are taxed differently than full-time residences.

3.

What is Santa Fe’s minimum wage for tipped employees?

4.

What is Munis?

5.

Are solar panels allowed on buildings in the historic districts and how do those rules intersect with the city’s sustainability plan?

1.

False. All residential properties are taxed at the same rate.

3.

The minimum wage in Santa Fe is $11.80 an hour. Tipped employees, such as waiters and baristas, may be paid a minimum cash wage of $2.13 per hour as long as their cash wage plus tips earned per hour is equal to no less than minimum wage.

District 2

MICHAEL J GARCIA

Every year, the city looks at snowpack and runoff in mid-April and a percentage of the 30-year average is provided by NRCS. This is used to create a hydrograph that determines the daily release amounts.

The amount of water released from the reservoirs into the river and to the acequias must, in total, be equal to or less than the amount of water that enters the McClure Reservoir in a given day. This amount is known as the bypass constraint. The goal is for the living river to receive up to 1,000 acre-feet per year in wet years, but in dry years it has been as little as 300 acre-feet.

Acequia deliveries total 93 acre-feet and are determined by adjudication and have a court order agreement for delivery.

BY L E A H CA N TO R l e a h @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

Munis is the city’s new automated financial and accounting enterprise resource system.

The city officially began using the new software on July 1. Munis is designed to ensure the accuracy of invoices and payments and lower the likelihood of fraud.

Solar panels are allowed in the historic district as long as they are not publicly visible. Exceptions may be made in specific circumstances with approval of a special historic review. Discussions about how historic district codes intersect with the city’s sustainability goals were initiated in recent years by middle school students petitioning the city to allow for measures that would make it easier to achieve carbon neutrality by incorporating more flexibility into historic codes as they relate to renewable energy technologies.

It’s an SFR tradition to find out how much City Council candidates actually know about the city they are vying to help govern with an election cycle Pop Quiz!

This year, we are starting out with a round of questions for the two candidates

Garcia, born and raised in Santa Fe, has a master’s degree in public administration from the University of New Mexico. He works for the Corporation for National Community Service, which oversees the AmeriCorps and Senior Corps programs.

1.

Current city code would determine that.

2.

False.

3.

$2.10.

4.

Can you … I couldn’t hear ya. Hmm.

ELECTION

seeking the seat Peter Ives is vacating in District 2, Michael J Garcia and Alysia Lori Abbott.

The rules: Each candidate is asked an identical set of trivia questions that they agree to answer without any help. We ask them to promise not to use Google, check their phones or ask Siri for answers, and they may not ask anyone else for a tip.

That’s a tough one.

Hmm … Munis …

It’s an acronym for something I’m trying to determine what it’s an acronym for.

I’m trying to rack my brain on this one. I don’t like to give up easily. Oh, man …

If I’m not mistaken it’s tied to a like, it’s an IT system but I can’t remember if it’s an acronym for something. I’m sorry, I’m … yeah … my answer would be it’s an information technology system but I don’t know if it’s an acronym for something.

5.

I want to think … my mind is surfing the downtown area to see if I’ve seen any solar panels … my answer would be no. What was the second part of the question? Well I know that solar panels are a big part of the city’s sustainability plan, and promoting solar energy production in all areas of the city including the historic district should be allowed.

INCORRECT

ALYSIA LORI ABBOTT

Abbott has a doctorate in archealogy and owns her own business, Abboteck Inc. Professional Archaeological Services.

She has worked as a historic preservation planner with the city of Santa Fe and has worked on state, federal and tribal conservation and preservation issues.

1.

2.

What determines how much water flows down the Santa Fe River? We rely on snowpack and there are also springs all the way up so it’s a springfed as well as a snowpack-fed water source.

Can you explain what you mean by taxed differently?

Second homes … you mean just because they are second homes?

That’s not correct.

3.

It is … for tipped employees … I think that for tipped employees, is it $17 an hour?

4.

Is it the municipal utilities? … I’m sorry, I don’t know.

I’m not familiar with that.

5.

Solar panels are not precluded on homes in the historic district, there’s not a specific requirement against them but they do have to satisfy certain more restrictive requirements, visibility, things like

that — whether or not they are visible.

And it will be part of construction if it’s contributing buildings, certainly, it will have to go through the Historic Design Review Board process. I think that the city’s sustainability plan is not at odds with the restrictions in the historic district. We need to make sure that we continue to encourage the kinds of new sustainability activities that we have not encouraged in the historic district before, but I don’t think that the existing ordinance in any way makes it impossible for us to do both.

Santa Fe theaters collaborate and heal with Quiara Alegría Hudes’ Elliot Trilogy 12

t started with a meal and a desire for community.

In the spring of 2015, writer, actress, director and educator Alix Hudson, then a newcomer to Santa Fe’s theater scene, was on a break between rehearsals for two different productions. She figured she’d find some way to kill four hours in Santa Fe rather than drive all the way home to Pojoaque.

“I’ll just stay down here, sleep in the theater, who knows,” she says, recalling the day four years ago. “And then these lovely people, Jonathan and Roxanne, were like, ‘Do you want to come out and have a meal with us?’ I didn’t know them! And they’re my people, right?” she says, laughing as she refers to Jonathan Harrell and Roxanne Tapia, also Teatro Paraguas regulars, who are now her close friends. “So we went to Dr. Field Goods, and they were like, ‘Oh my God, you don’t know Quiara Alegría Hudes?!’”

Thus began a number of relationships, both between people in the city’s close-knit theater community and between Hudson and the work of playwright Hudes, whom Hudson half-jok-

ingly calls “Teatro Paraguas’ patron saint.” And by 2019, these relationships would spur perhaps the most complicated collaboration Santa Fe’s theater scene has ever attempted.

This week begins a five-week project launched by three theater companies to present staggered runs of Hudes’ immense Elliot Trilogy, a saga that follows young Iraq war veteran Elliot Ortiz as he struggles with injury, PTSD, addiction, his past and his legacy—all framed by his strong Puerto Rican heritage, and set everywhere from the lush jungles of Vietnam to the concrete wilderness of Philadelphia.

The sublime, dreamlike Elliot: A Soldier’s Fugue opens this Thursday, Sept.

26, and runs for three weeks at Teatro Paraguas; the two subsequent plays in the trilogy (raw and heartbreaking Water by the Spoonful, which won the Pulitzer Prize for drama in 2012, and The Happiest Song Plays Last, the most cinematic of the bunch) open the following two Thursdays, presented by Ironweed Productions and the Santa Fe Playhouse, respectively.

The planning, collaboration, compromise and camaraderie required to put

up such a huge project among Santa Fe’s theaters is nothing to scoff at—and is perhaps even something to marvel at, given how divergent our town’s performing arts companies were until recently.

As little as five years ago, folks just weren’t getting along. Companies were regularly, contentiously canceling programming, “claiming” opening weekends, secretly hosting auditions to shut each other out and circling wagons tight against each other.

“The playhouse had been one of the guilty parties,” says Vaughn Irving, artistic director at the Santa Fe Playhouse.

“So part of me, coming in ... [in 2015] and trying to make up for the fact that we’d pissed a bunch of people off, I wanted to be as open as I could about everything. …

There was already a hunger for that before I got here, so it was just nice timing for me to get here and be able to flip the culture at the playhouse to go with that.”

“Everybody wanted to work together, you know,” adds Scott Harrison, artistic director and founder of Ironweed Productions, “but there were some contingents who didn’t. So it just made it challenging. … There were always discussions,

but they never melded into actual collaboration until Theatre Santa Fe.” Harrison references the nonprofit organization that was founded in 2015 and finally brought together Santa Fe’s seemingly always-feuding theater companies into one cohesive group. While it began as simply a reason to apply for a grant to make a common website, it morphed into much more, according to co-founder and past president Janet Davidson.

She says the plan came from Jim Patterson, a loyal theater patron in town. “He called me, and he said, ‘Do you think that a website for the theaters to get together on would be a good idea?’” Davidson recalls. “We brought the entire theater community together in one room at Teatro to explain what we were doing and to see who was going to be on board. At that point I think we had eight companies who said they would be interested.”

Theatre Santa Fe has since ballooned to more than 20 subscribing companies, each of which pay a nominal annual fee to be included on the theatresantafe.org calendar, have the chance to participate in the annual Theatre Walk (which happened on Sept. 14 this year), and list their

show dates in co-op style advertising.

But the bigger outcome of Theatre Santa Fe was a sudden and intense bloom of community that local creatives had only dreamed of previously.

“I just directed a play in Albuquerque,” Davidson continues, “and I was kind of shocked at the lack of agreement in theaters down there, and that we seem so far ahead of them. … Albuquerque is much more of a theater town … but the cooperation up here was making it seem much more professional than what I was seeing in Albuquerque. And I was very proud of that.”

Teatro Paraguas Executive Director Argos MacCallum, who has been doing theater in the Santa Fe area since 1970, says he’s seen a lot of theater alliances come and go—but that this one might have staying power, largely due to who makes up the scene these days.

“I’m always skeptical of everything, at least at first,” he says. “But you’re right, five years ago it was like, ‘What do you mean, you’re opening on that weekend?

That weekend’s mine.’ And people say,

From the Korean War, through Vietnam and into Iraq, the wartime legacy of the Ortiz family persists in Elliot: A Soldier’s Fugue. (From left: Rudy “Froggy” Fernandez, Juliet Salazar, Luca Pacheco and Niko’a Salas.

‘Oh, the theater scene’s really experiencing a renaissance,’ and that’s true. But it’s always part of waves, it seems.”

He acknowledges that right now, this moment feels special.

“What I think has happened is there’s a whole new generation,” MacCallum continues. “In the past, some of the alliances were dominated by big personalities, so there was always an undercurrent of competition. But there’s a new wave of theater artists in town, and the idea of cooperation and mutual support has gained ground.”

The idea of a “culmination” connotes a kind of end, so it’s not accurate to say that the Elliot Trilogy is a culmination of the current coming-together of companies; but perhaps it’s one of numerous culminations to come, the first of many large-scale collaborations, and can serve as a precedent of what is possible.

A resounding sentiment across all experiences of this project seems to be: Come closer. Come here. Come to me. As a Puerto Rican would say, “Vente pa’cá.” It’s an invitation to listen, to commune and to relate to each other.

In Elliot: A Soldier’s Fugue, the characters rarely, if ever, actually interact with one another, instead performing their disparate roles through monologues that are more like poetry, intertwining in story and vibrant image. We meet Elliot, the 18-year-old Marine, as he is shipped to Iraq; Pop, his father, whose drunken revelry in Vietnam masks a deeply traumatized soul; Grandpop, whose time shivering during the Korean War was spent playing Bach on his flute for his comrades; and Ginny, Elliot’s mother, who met Pop in a Vietnam military hospital when she was a nurse there.

We are drawn into the swirling story via a supremely talented cast, including Luca Pacheco, an 18-year-old student at New Mexico School for the Arts, as Elliot; Niko’a Salas, a newcomer to the Santa Fe scene, who portrays a bellowing Pop; Paraguas mainstay Rudy “Froggy” Fernandez as Grandpop; and Juliet Salazar as the smooth-voiced, nurturing Ginny, whose jungle-like Philadelphian garden flourishes under her touch.

Hudson, who directs Fugue, loves the piece for its nuance. There are no flashbangs, no grand revelations, but in-

stead, evenly metered beauty that feeds the audience bit by bit. What makes the play great are “the unresolved cycles of trauma—and that Quiara lets it be,” Hudson says. “We see some resolution, we see tiny little redemptions, we have the spoonfuls throughout; but she dared to do it.”

If Fugue delivers its drama bit by bit, Water by the Spoonful, the trilogy’s middle piece, pours it on heavier. It is more of a traditional play, though half of it takes place in an online chatroom, which presented a unique challenge to director Valli Marie Rivera.

Rivera, after living and making theater in New Mexico for 22 years, returned home with her husband to Puerto Rico in May of this year. She wasn’t expecting Harrison of Ironweed to approach her a month before the big move and ask her to come back to New Mexico to direct a Pulitzer-winning script, but she knew she couldn’t pass up the opportunity. She returned to Santa Fe for the summer to work on the show.

“When I was invited, I re-read it, and I fell in love,” she tells SFR. “I cried, I laughed, I cried again, I laughed again.

And I said, ‘Okay, this is the play I need to come back to Santa Fe [for].’ It was like a big circle closing for me.”

She’s particularly enamored of the portrayal of Puerto Rican culture in the piece. “I want [my actors and our audiences] to understand that our culture is very strong,” she says. “It is based on the mother, the matriarch. … We go back to the family for healing as part of our culture. And it’s important that my cast understands that that makes us strong.”

Indeed, in Spoonful, it’s now about five years after Elliot (Juan Mendoza Solis) has left Iraq, and he is trying to come to terms with his changing and tumultuous family dynamic—as well as his own ghosts, figurative and maybe even literal. He is shepherded by his strong cousin Yazmin (Cristina Vigil). Meanwhile, his biological mother (who, we find out here, is not Ginny from Fugue) runs a chatroom for recovering addicts; those characters and their relationship to their virtual matriarch Odessa (portrayed by Alicia Lueras Maldonado) make up a large part of the family structure we see onstage.

It is in this play, too, there’s the heartbreaking reality of trying to recover— from injury, from trauma, from addiction, from heartbreak, from loss. The scene from which the title is drawn explains that when a child is dehydrated, water must be doled out slowly, teaspoon by teaspoon. As Rivera told the audience at a recent Theatre Lovers Club talk, “This is a story about addiction, a story about recovery, about struggling to get out of addiction, and about lives unfulfilled. …

Little by little, little by little, emotional input, support from the family, little by little, you will recover. But if you try to recover quickly, it won’t work.”

The trilogy closes with The Happiest Song Plays Last, presented by the Santa Fe Playhouse and directed by Robyn Rikoon.

The most traditionally structured play of the trilogy, it takes us further into the future, when Elliot is now trying his hand at an acting career (yes, really; Elliot is based on a real person, the playwright’s cousin, and this part of the story is even true). Elliot (played by Devin Zamora) is in Jordan filming a docudrama about the Iraq War with Arab-American actress Shar (Tara Khozein) and their guide in Jordan, Ali (Robert Henkel, Jr.). Meanwhile, back in Philadelphia, we see that his cousin Yaz (the aforementioned Roxanne Tapia) has become the matriarch that her aunt Ginny once was, and she takes care of the neighborhood, if not always herself.

The relationships between characters are paramount, says Rikoon. “It’s exciting to me to see how these characters affect one another … just from walking their path, and from allowing themselves to be witnessed,” she tells SFR. She says she’s particularly enamored of the relationship between Ali, Elliot and Shar. “To serve the story, Ali has to be so kind and compassionate, and almost a catalyst for these two people to awaken to themselves.

Compassion allows us to wake up. That’s what is happening underneath this text; he’s holding space and witnessing as these two people wake up.”

SFREPORTER.COM

Family relationships come to the forefront in Water by the Spoonful, with cousins Yazmin (Cristina Vigil) and Elliot (Devin Zamora) struggling to come to terms with their aunt and mother Odessa (Alicia Lueras Maldonado).

So much Latinx theater “is based on poetry, and that’s so different than if you look at Arthur Miller or William Inge or Tennessee Williams,” she says. “I’m excited about the weird line that Quiara Alegría Hudes walks between realism and magical realism.”

To get her audience into the groove of a world in which not everything may be what it seems, she continues, “We have, in our design choices, tried to make the space a little disorienting. … So the play itself is traditional, the theater itself is traditional, but in the way we’re approaching it, there’s a little twist. It might make people go, ‘I don’t know, what is that supposed to mean?’—and so maybe by

The regular theatergoing audiences, they’re not attuned to the fact that there’s such an incredible genre of Latinx theater that is so imaginative and fresh and vibrant.

-Argos MacCallum,

Teatro Paraguas

questioning what they’re seeing visually, they’ll subconsciously question what’s going on onstage.”

There are all the geographic and artistic reasons, but in the bigger picture, the importance of Latin American and otherwise non-Anglo American art in the political sphere is more and more important. Specifically, the president’s repeated lashing-out at Puerto Rico, not to mention persistent racism against nonwhite Americans, have created a climate of a country hostile toward its own citizens; it follows that recognizing the beauty of the culture feels paramount.

“Puerto Rican culture is very active.

We are activists,” Rivera tells SFR. “We took out a governor the other day! I was marching with my grandchildren there; five million people marched. … There’s so much that has been said about Puerto Ricans not being Americans. We are Americans! And doing this play helps my actors to understand what it is we are. We are strong, we are activists, we fight in war.

We are Puerto Rican Americans.”

Not only is community, family and healing a huge part of the plays presented, but it’s a huge part of presenting the plays. This theme reverberated again and again, whether via Tapia and Harrell inviting newcomer Hudson out for a meal and telling her about Hudes, to Harrison’s Ironweed production finding a cast, a director and a venue in short order, care of a generous scene.

CARRIE MCCARTHY

The question always remains, “Why this play here and now?”—part of the answer to the “now” part is simply that the community has finally banded together and found the time to make it happen, after years of planning and wanting.

Specific to Santa Fe, Teatro Paraguas’ MacCallum (who also appears in The Happiest Song) theorizes that Santa Fe is finally ready for Latinx playwrights’ work to be produced more often.

“It’s been kind of a struggle to produce Latinx theater and attract different kinds of audiences,” MacCallum says of his experience at Paraguas, which he founded in 2004. “The regular theatergoing audiences, they’re not attuned to the fact that there’s such an incredible genre of Latinx theater that is so imaginative and fresh and vibrant.”

As for his goals, besides putting on three great plays, he says, “I’m speaking selfishly for Paraguas; I’m hoping that one of the outcomes for the trilogy is that the theater audience that one sees in Santa Fe will become more and more attuned and appreciative of Latinx theater. … And I’m seeing that that’s starting to happen.”

And it’s to the benefit of everybody that Santa Fe and its visitors see more of this work, says Happiest Song director Rikoon.

Following in the tradition most visibly exemplified by Gabriel García Márquez of Colombia, much Latin-American literature has an enticing, enchanting, surreal quality that translates wonderfully to the stage in Hudes’ masterful magical realism.

Every person SFR interviewed for this project explained in their own way that the joy of working with those around them made this project stand out from the rest.

“I feel the collection of people, from the actors, directors, producers and creative teams, it feels like a—a collection of good people,” Harrison says. “There’s been a really good collective spirit around it. And it just reverberates out.”

Irving of the Santa Fe Playhouse agrees. “I think there’s a little bit of competitive pressure between the members of this collective to say, ‘I’ve gotta be as good as this other show,’” he says. “We don’t want to let down the trilogy on the whole, and it has to be on a certain level.”

And that attitude will affect more than just this one project. “We’ve all seen this change in the amount and the quality of theater that is happening in town these last couple years,” Irving continues. Rather than simply aspiring to be the best, he says, when theater folk see plays here in town, “there is this element of, ‘Oh wow, that was really good. I want to do something that good.’ And that’s how you build community and build an audience and build—well, theater.”

Perhaps that is how you heal a contentious theater scene: community. And, if you ask Rivera how you heal your own trauma, her answer is the same.

“You go home. You sit with your aunt or your grandmother. Our nucleus. Our family is very important,” the Puertorriqueña told the audience at the Theatre Lovers Club panel. “And it’s crucial to understand that family is not only by blood, but also family that we choose. Puerto Ricans are very much, ‘Come over. I’ll cure you. I’ll take care of you. … Vente á donde.

Vente aquí. Vente pa’cá.’”

POWER TO THE PEOPLE A spectre is haunting the whole damn globe— that of a people’s movement against capitalism and colonialism—and two powerhouses of people’s liberation come together to discuss it. Melanie Yazzie (Diné) is the national chair of The Red Nation, New Mexico’s own homegrown grassroots organization committed to the liberation of Indigenous people, and a professor at UNM. Vijay Prashad, meanwhile, is originally from India, studied in the US and founded both Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research, which studies mass movements in the Global South, and LeftWord Books, a Marxist publishing house. Together they discuss the social contradictions in New Mexico’s history of colonization and exploitation and how to create a brighter future out of those struggles. (Cole Rehbein)

ART OPENING FRI/27

Pop Objects Zachery Lechtenberg and Will Rimel embrace the culture “I knew I wouldn’t cut it doing anything but art,” Zachery Lechtenberg tells SFR. That’s mainly a joke, but good for us; Lechtenberg shows his jewelry at Canyon Road’s Hecho a Mano Gallery this week alongside Will Rimel, a ceramicist, in Funko Roasto, a sendup of popular toys but a staggering duo show at the intersection of tongue-in-cheek and fine art.

Lechtenberg’s work is often compared to that of Futurama creator Matt Groening, and though he agrees that learning to draw as a youth included inspiration from such shows, his style and pieces are far more one-of-a-kind. When it comes to his jewelry, brooches seem to make up the vast majority of his output. Each is a laborious process or illustration, metalwork and enamel, basically colored glassy powder that Lechtenberg packs into a frame of metal and fires in a kiln over and over again until it looks right; until it looks machine made.

“That’s the blessing and the curse,” he says. “It looks like a production, it looks like a multiple. It’s so well-done in that sense that it looks like something that should be cheap.”

He’s not being conceited—his work does look like it couldn’t be made by hand. Further, no two are alike and they skirt a combination of pop culture and illustration and bizarre character design.

SFREPORTER.COM

For Rimel’s part, his ceramics look like dark and strange toys, like if animator Bill Plympton and R Crumb collaborated.

The works are made by hand from a solid block of clay and have narrative elements according to Rimel, though his main goal is to create something aesthetically pleasing. For this, he looks to the pop culture of the ’90s, video game design and the idea of escapism, sans the pejorative context.

“I’ve always been kind of at odds with the fine art ceramic world,” Rimel says.

“Once you get in the high art scene, people take themselves so seriously, and my whole idea is to make work that has serious undertones and social concepts, but also, the whole point of art is to engage with an audience—if you’re making something that’s so heady and mindboggling, that’s boring to me.”

Each artist has numerous pieces running from the affordable to the kind of prices that court serious collectors.

Whether or not you’ll buy is up to you, but Funko Roasto is a can’t-miss show either way. (Alex De Vore)

THE CALENDAR with Jason Berry

We made energy efficient improvements to our home with help from Homewise.

KATHY ANDERSON

Pretty much everyone is at least aware of the New Orleans funeral procession tradition—a bizarre yet joyful affair wherein the friends and family of the deceased dance and play music in the streets. According to author and New Orleans native Jason Berry, however, the reasons behind the marches are anything but simple and have never been researched to any great effect. In his new book, City of a Million Dreams: New Orleans at Year 300, Berry, a historian, former journalist and author of nine other books, digs into the deepest, oldest history of the famous city and its customs. Berry stops by for a reading at op.cit books this weekend (2 pm Saturday Sept. 28. Free. 157 Paseo de Peralta, 428-0321). (Alex De Vore) What exactly is with you and New Orleans, Berry?

New Orleans was a magical place to be be a kid. This place has a deep pull for me, and when I got into the research on jazz funerals and the African American culture of the town, it was like going into an exotic country that happened to be located in the city where I lived. It’s a profoundly spiritual terrain where many of the carnival traditions, and particularly the burial customs, are reaching for another world, a different way of living, a different way of thinking.

Is there some kind of moral to the book? Something about the indomitable spirit of humankind?

The beguiling personality of this city has been shaped by long tension with many clashes between culture and the law. The African American legacy of public dancing and how the parading tradition kept colliding with French and Spanish strictures forced a change in the mores and folkways of the town. And that’s to take nothing away from the grandeur of the French architecture or the melding of the French and Spanish customs with African cooking and what is now such a world-renowned culinary city, but I’ve been enamored over the years by the ways culture has pushed against the law. We’re going through a crisis in America about what constitutes identity, and ... even though it has the image of being a hard partying, good times town—which is pretty well-deserved—I’ve spent enough time there and know enough about the city so that the history I wrote is not a conventional chronicle of generals and politicians and great or lesser economic moments … I’m much more curious about how these disparate people, this crossroads of humanity, managed to create a place and a sensibility that is unlike any other in the country.

Say you had to pick some favorite thing from your research. Anything stand out?

I wanted three-dimensional profiles of people across time whose lives held a mirror to what the city was like, and the one who really entranced me was Sister Gertrude Morgan. She’s a renowned outsider artist [and] I was really struck by this African American woman who believed herself to be a bride of Christ and was a mystic. Her story taught me so much about the way in which this bohemian culture eventually grew into what we might today call [the arts] industry.

MUSIC

Weaponizing Support Scene by choice, not by charity

BY AEDRA BURKE a u t h o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

I

t’s a Tuesday night in New Orleans, about a year ago.

I’m on tour with my band, and we’re heading into the final week of shows in a three-week run. The other bands on tour have loaded in, sound checks are done and we’re sitting around at the bar doing what every responsible touring musician does: furiously refreshing the Facebook event for the night between shots of cheap whiskey.

The online event page states that doors open at 8 pm, the first band starts at 9 pm sharp, with DJs in between each set. I scroll to the Facebook invites:

Invited: 453 Interested: 238 Going: 27

Invited: 453 Interested: 238 Going: 26

By the end of the night, we’ve played to a room of five disinterested goths, and sometime during the evening, I hear from one of the faithful audience members: “I’m sorry more people didn’t come out, I wish more people supported the scene.”

The show ends with a whimper.

I recognize that this probably sounds like a sob story of a band that bit off more than it could chew, but there’s an unwritten joke that every seasoned touring musician knows: Regardless of turnout, there’s always that one person who’s going to tell you it would be better if the variables were different—if it weren’t raining, if it weren’t a Tuesday, if only some bigger band hadn’t played there last week—or that nobody supports the local scene anymore.

I never hold it against someone for stating the objective truth of the matter.

Weather can be a blessing or a curse.

Sometimes schedules just conflict on the road. We don’t have any control over the day we play because our booking agent handles the routing. But the second part of the joke always feels weird to me.

Why is the sentiment of support always a rote point of conversation, and why does it feel so off?

“In general, I tend to not like the word ‘support,’” says local vet Augustine Ortiz of metal act Dysphotic. “It’s hard because [it is] such a wide encompassing thing. And I do ask for people’s support, but I don’t like the word because it makes me feel like we’re a charity. I feel like a lot of local scenes suffer from

that mentality. You feel guilty because ‘I need to go and support the scene or whatever,’ and you go in already expecting to have a bad time.”

Ortiz has promoted shows in Santa Fe for years, generally working with metal. Further, as a musician, he’s uniquely positioned to understand the scene from all angles.

“I was seeing the same things in Santa Fe, like people would be bitching and saying ‘no one supports the scene, people don’t show up,’” he says, “but then I would go to a show, it would be super last-minute that I would hear about it, and when I got there, nobody would be at the show.”

I ask Ortiz about Dysphotic’s live show and how it ties into the local scene. He responds that he wants the shows to “look good, sound good, and be well promoted. I want people to come out and actually feel like the money that they spend at a show was worth it. I’m thankful for support, but I want it to be worth their time.”

And there it is. For all the talk of supporting scenes, it isn’t really about support, but rather live music as moral obligation. The underground mantra of support starts to sound less like a

rallying cry and more like some Sarah McLaughlin-backed ad guilting you for time. For just 30 minutes a week, you, too, can support a starving artist.

When we entrench ourselves into a scene as fans or creators, we dream that simply being in a band or a scene merits interest, or that scenes expand and grow solely because people routinely attend every event, but the fact is that music scenes don’t owe musicians—or scene die-hards—anything. Music owes itself to exist, and the rest is coincidental. We can try to give the most blood we can, but it’s 2019.

“We’re competing with Netflix, other live shows, YouTube, and people’s couches,” Ortiz explains. “How do we be good enough to earn that support?”

I don’t know that there’s any satisfying response to this question. No matter what we think, I do know that underground music and underground music scenes will continue. This isn’t to say a scene will support itself, or that you should stay home; you should get to shows, listen to local music and buy merch. But don’t do it at the gunpoint of moral obligation. Do it because your favorite band happens to be local. Do it because it’s a good way to spend your night. Do it because you want to.

Do it because you gave a band a chance, and they were worth your time.

Two people are there at doors, my best friend and her partner.

The DJ starts at 8:15, after a bit of a technical issue.

Artist Andrea Vargas-Mendoza connects the dots with ongoing projects focused on the border crisis

W

hen local artist Andrea Vargas-Mendoza was tapped by former Warehouse 21 executive director Ana Gallegos y Reinhardt to conduct a workshop for area students at the nonprofit teen arts center, she says she expected maybe 20 participants.

“It turned out I was going to have 60 kids,” Vargas-Mendoza explains, “they bussed them in.”

At the time, Vargas-Mendoza says she had been working with Billy Schenk, a painter of American Western scenes, who she says passed along a respect for the concept of paint-by-numbers. From there, it was a matter of a projector and images of the kids separated from their parents at the border.

The results are multi-media collaborative pieces with a minimal color palate, written word and myriad emo-

tions drudged up from kids just learning about the immigration crisis. As kids as young as infancy die in US concentration camps (let’s just call them what they are, shall we?), young folks in Santa Fe are learning about migrants’ stories to create art with purpose. But then, isn’t that sort of the responsibility of the artist? To perceive, distill and express the complex and seemingly inexpressible?

Vargas-Mendoza thinks so.

“In my mind, I think about what it would feel like to be Wonder Woman,” she tells SFR. “If there were a way to literally break the cement walls, for those kids to walk out into the sun again and feel free?

The work is there. The call is there.”

Thus, WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO BE FREE was born. Given the high number of kids involved, however, it was tough to pare down the selections, but with an assist from KEEP Contemporary head Jared Antonio-Justo Trujillo and the Albuquerque-based artist, educator and curator Linda-marie Monier, VarVar gas-Mendoza says she’s excited about what will be on view. It doesn’t end with the kids, either, as she plans to show her newest series as well.

Perhaps best-known for figurative work in limited, striking shades, Vargas-Mendoza’ own practice has evolved as she tries to answer the ques-tion posed by the show’s title. In addition to teaching budding art-ists, Vargas-Mendoza has crafted custom bags, each of which carries a message meant to provoke others to consider their own concept of freedom. Each piece begins as a simple paper bag from a grocery store or local boutique, but once Vargas-Mendoza had completed one, it’s something more akin to a covert activist’s sign. One such bag features the image of Felipe Gómez Alonzo, an 8-year-old from Guatemala who died in ICE custody of the flu last year. Alone. On the bathroom floor.

On Christmas Eve. Vargas-Mendoza cut out bars on the side of a bag from behind which

A&C

Alonzo’s image stares. He appears on another creation as well, a bag from Sprouts, on which Vargas-Mendoza has altered the printed words with paint to form new phrases like “Keep family together” and “Caged like pulled pork.” Others in the series include phrases like “No kids in cages,” “SOS” and, simply but powerfully, “Help.”

They’re not easy to look at or consider, but Vargas-Mendoza says she conceived the idea after attending a Plaza art market during the summer with a sign admonishing the border crisis—which resulted in her being asked to leave. Ideally, she says, others would be interested in buying and carrying the bags, proceeds from which go to nonprofit No Kids in Cages. On Friday, Var Vargas-Mendoza plans to show more than 40.

And whereas visual arts at Warehouse 21 most often take over the teen art cen center’s upstairs gallery Vargas-Mendo space, Vargas-MendoRe za and Gallegos y Reinhardt chose to show in the main lobby for the upcoming one-off event, erecting a sort of cage of metal armature Attend around the works. Attendees will, quite literally, be caged themselves, which Vargas-Mendoza says might spur some to question their own perceptions of freedom, the border crisis and incarcerated youths in danger of illness, deportation or death.

“Who are you when you walk into the show?” Vargas-Mendoza asks. “How does it feel to be free? What are you going to do with your free body? Will you have gratitude for your freedom?”

WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO BE FREE: 6 pm Friday Sept. 27. Free. Warehouse 21, 1614 Paseo de Peralta, 989-4423

MUSEUM HILL CAFÉ

That Brunch Life Some of the best brunch spots in Santa Fe are right under our noses

BY MARY FRANCIS CHEESEMAN a u t h o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

W

hat makes a brunch spot really shine? Ideally, of course, there’s a menu with options hearty enough for breakfast but energizing enough as lunch. There should be a beautiful location, maybe with a gorgeous view or plenty of adjoining shops or museums to walk off the meal afterward. There should be outdoor seating, so you can wear your hangover sunglasses in peace and not look out of place. If you’re so inclined, there should be cocktail options—because if

you’re having brunch, it should be followed by a day of rest and relaxation.

This isn’t your weekday breakfast, for crying out loud.

RIO CHAMA STEAKHOUSE Rio Chama is a downtown staple for brunch. Right next door to the State Capitol and just two blocks from the Plaza, Rio Chama has plenty of parking and a cozy yet spacious interior.

Slip into one of the old crinkled leather booths and enjoy a menu full of comfort food, such as a spring frittata ($15) and pancakes ($4-$6). Find plenty of lunch options at brunchtime too, such as a half or whole wedge salad with bacon and blue cheese ($8-$15) or a lamb burger ($16). You can even get a round of oysters on the half shell ($2 each) to go along with a mimosa ($6) or a glass of

Gruet Blanc de Noir ($6), although any libation of your choosing can be made at the full bar. Best of all? The restaurant offers brunch on Saturday too, in case you need to nurse your post-Friday night hangover with a solid meal and a day of leisure.

11 am-10 pm daily 414 Old Santa Fe Trail, 955-0765 riochamasteakhouse.com

CHEZ MAMOU Parking is always tricky downtown, but Chez Mamou is worth the hassle on a Sunday afternoon. The quirky East Palace spot—which shares a storefront with a jewelry store, so you can get your breakfast amidst glittering displays of beaded necklaces—boasts a brunch menu full of French classics, such as a decadently bechamel-soaked croque monsieur ($10.95, $2 more upgrades it to a madame with an egg) and crepes au jambon ($13), served with scrambled eggs, ham and gruyere. These are some standouts in a menu of wildly decadent croissants, crepes, omelets and sandwiches that evoke shades of breakfast in Paris, especially considering the

At the foot of the mountains, Museum Hill Café has a beautifully spacious location, a diverse menu and ample parking.

The menu is light and elegant, not to mention vegetarian and gluten-free friendly, with options such as a sweet corn custard with poblano sauce ($12.95) and a red chile-flavored polenta topped with egg, cumin crema and fruit salad ($14.95).

There’s a few Southwestern-styled dishes such as a breakfast tostada ($13.95) and vegetarian quesadilla ($12.95), not to mention four wine and sake cocktails including a bloody mary ($6) that substitutes sake for vodka. You don’t have to visit the four museums on premises to hit up Museum Hill Café, but why not start off a day of art and peoplewatching with a few mimosas as an aperitif?

11 am-3 pm daily 710 Camino Lejo, 984-8900 museumhillcafe.net

Sweet & Spicy The best wines to pair with chile according to the experts

BY ZIBBY WILDER a u t h o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

C

hile season is in full swing, and with the harvest of New Mexico’s favorite spicy fruit also comes the harvest of one of its sweetest—grapes. The nation’s largest celebration of these sweet and spicy pals also comes along this time of year, the Santa Fe Wine & Chile Fiesta (santafewineandchile.org). This multi-day bacchanal attracts thousands of foodies forking out $195 each to attend the festival’s Grand Tasting, a three-hour free-for-all featuring wine tastings from 90 national wineries and (mostly) chile-focused bites from 75 area restaurants.

Not being a fan of big crowds and loud over-imbibers, I wondered how one could have a little wine and chile fiesta of one’s own. Most Santa Feans are pretty adept with chile, and have mastered at least a few recipes. What kinds of wines would go best with these, however, and where do we get them?

SEPTEMBER 25-OCTOBER 1, 2019

I turned for advice to the experts at one of my happy places, Kokoman Fine Wines and Liquors (32 Cities of Gold Road, 455-2219) in Pojoaque. If you judge a book by its cover, maybe you’ve driven past it multitudes of times and not stopped. From outside, Kokoman looks like nothing more than a quick stop for a six-pack of Coors tall boys, but step inside and a heavenly new world is revealed.

Since 1981, Keith Obermeyer’s knowledgable wine buyers have stocked fine wines from around the world, in the process even being named one of the 50 Best Wine Stores in America by GQ Magazine. Within local wine circles, Kokoman’s weekly tastings are legendary. I stopped in one Saturday before the aficionados began arriving, with their personal tasting glasses in hand to get some advice from wine manager, Mark Spradling, and wine sales associate, Marco Marcello.

“We have at least 4,500 different wines in here and we can help pick a number of them to pair nicely with our local fare,” says Spradling.

SFRE PORTE R.COM/FO O D

“New Mexicans love sweet wine and that is probably because of all the spicy foods we eat,” adds Marcello.

The logic is thus: wines with higher residual sugar pair well with spicy foods because the sugar dulls the heat, but the right wine can also enhance the flavor profiles of chile dishes.

Spradling and Marcello agree there are a variety of New Mexico wineries producing vintages that go well with chile dishes. Among the most popular sellers at Kokoman are the Girls Are Meaner Gewurztraminer 1 ($14.99) and Sweet Jenner Rose red blend 2 ($13.99) by Northern New Mexico’s Wines of the San Juan.

“These wines are moderately sweet,” Spradling says.

Other local suggestions include the Barbera or Adobe Red table wine 3 ($19.49) from Jaramillo Vineyards in Belen and the Nini red blend 4 ($23.99) and Montepulciano 5 ($18.99) from Luna Rossa Winery in Deming.

Branching out into the wider world of wine, Riesling has long been a favorite accompaniment for spicy foods, and Spradling suggests the Merkelbach Auslese 6 ($26.99) as a friend to the brightness of green chile.

“German Riesling is always a safe bet,” he says, adding that “Sauternes could also be pretty interesting.”

Red chile, with its more intense, smokier profile pairs well with a variety of red wines from around the world.

“When I think of red chile I think of smoky, fruity pinot noir,” Marcello says.

7

“Also Gamay, Brachetto, and Schiava could be interesting.”

Among these, he recommends Oregon pinot noirs which “show fast and fruity, so you want to drink them early.”

Marcello suggests Pike Road 7 ($19.49) pinot noir, which he calls a “fresh, approachable, everyday” wine.

Foillard Beaujolais-Villages 8 ($25.49), meanwhile, has “lots of fruit in the nose but finishes dry so leaves the smokiness of red chile.”

In terms of Brachetto, a light, dry, and fruity wine, Marcello points to Anthos 9 ($19.99) an “all natural wine with native yeast and no intervention; this one was always good before natural wines became hip.”

Schiava, the daily drink of choice for many northern Italian farmers, is also a good sweet yet light option, of which he recommends the Kaltern 10 ($18.49).

“What about wines made with chile?”

I wonder.

We all get a good laugh.

“Most I have tried are pretty pedestrian,” Spradling notes, “but Noisy Water makes both green chile and red chile wines that are actually interesting.”

If you are, or would like to be, a fine wine connoisseur, Kokoman hosts weekly wine tastings Saturdays from 3:30-6pm. Spradling and Marcello are on hand for these and would be happy not only to share their extensive knowledge of the big world of wine, but help you find the perfect accompaniment to pretty much any meal you have in mind—chile or no.

“

is just so much disingenuous spiritual psychobabble out there that it’s easy to get numb to it.

It’s a pleasure to learn, then, that they don’t quite express the down-to-earth warmth and relatability of Smith, whose journey takes us from the Presbyterian churches of North Carolina to backstage at New York’s prestigious theaters to intense retreats with the African psychedelic herb iboga.

The performance clips along at a perfectly measured pace, full of noncartoony impressions of Smith’s family in effortless Southern twang. We are introduced first to 6-year-old Smith as he realizes in one fateful visit to a men’s locker room how unconvention-

understanding of “night school.” That’s what Smith calls his dreams, which have become an important part of both his homeopathy practice as well as his own self-discovery and his relationship with his ātman, or inner self; it’s “the little God in each of us,” Smith says, “attending to our awakening, and sometimes just babysitting us when we end up way off course, as we all do.”

Does it sound woo-woo and maybe weird? Absolutely. Is it? Perhaps.

But is ātman also touching, relatable, non-judgmental and, to be honest, really quite funny? Definitely.

It’s a lesson in loving what you discover as you go; in searching for the truth and accepting it when you find it, no matter how difficult it may be. ātman is a journey of the mind and an adventure for the heart, right through its eviscerating yet heartwarming ending, and Smith is just the guide we need.

TMAN 8 pm Friday and Saturday Sept. 27 and 28. $12-$15. Railyard Performance Center, 1611 Paseo de Peralta, tickets available at atman.show HOMEOPATHY AND DREAMWORK LECTURE 2-4 pm Sunday Sept. 29. Free; admittance only with ticket stub from performance.

Location to be announced.

CHARLOTTE JUSINSKI

ey, want to go see a one-man show by a gluten-free vegan Jesus-loving gay Buddhist from the South who says homeopathy, dream interpretation and psychedelics changed his life?”

If your answer was anything less than “absolutely,” you haven’t met someone like Malcolm Smith.

Smith debuts his one-man show, ātman, this weekend at the Railyard Performance Space, after working with story coach and director Tanya Taylor Rubinstein. I had the same hesitation you likely had in reading the description, but I decided to take a chance. In order to show me the play before its brief one-weekend debut, Smith, who lives in Oregon, offered a private performance of the 80-ish-minute monologue at the Airbnb he’s staying in just out of town.

I arrived to the idyllic compound of dome houses nestled among junipers and fruit trees to see that Smith has prepared what he’d described in his invite email as “healthy snacks.”

I was expecting maybe a store-bought veggie tray. Instead, I found broiled eggplant slices with a creamy vegan cashew-basil sauce topped with sliced tomatoes and crunchy sprouts. With my snacking expectations promptly dashed, I figured my anticipation of an inaccessible woo-woo monologue could be mislaid as well.

While all of Smith’s marketing materials for the show are accurate, in essence, they seem a little mystical and lofty. The press release describes the piece as “the humorous true story of a man led by an inner guide to his own awakening,” and “a way to describe that unique aspect of each person who is both a part of us AND a part of the Divine with its infinite wisdom.” While, if sincere, these are charming concepts, there

al his family is—and that he is attracted to boys. He brings us up through his childhood and adolescence, painting a charming and funny portrait of parents who are quite supportive of his strange endeavors, including social experiments that use his bedroom as a lab.

We thus see Smith’s insatiable curiosity, including interest in the inner-workings of elevators, which provides an exhilarating tale of his art-school self battling the jocks of Boston University in his 13-story dorm building. Smith becomes coy and playful as he relates stories about acting in the world premiere of The Normal Heart at New York’s Public Theater in 1985. While playing Tommy Boatwright, he says, “I was a gay man, pretending to be a straight man pretending to be a gay man;” he opted to stay closeted for fear of losing acting gigs in the city during the height of the AIDS epidemic. But a chance encounter with a stranger (and that stranger’s genitalia) on a subway car late one night eventually changes his attitude toward living in secret.

All of this is not even half of Smith’s story, which really takes off once a chance encounter with a homeopath in a health food store changes the course of his life.

The tale flies at this point, tumbling avalanche-style into experiences with psychedelics, deep emotional revelations concerning his father’s ileostomy bag and his eventual

THEATER

Malcolm Smith takes audiences on a journey from his mother’s interpretive dance version of the Bible to squirt-gun wars in elevators to a profound and heart-rending conclusion about love and truth.

Official Secrets Review Lying the world to war

MOVIES

BY ALEX DE VORE a l e x @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

Setting aside its absolutely dreadful title, director Gavin Hood’s Official Secrets proves a compelling political/journalistic thriller based on true events and a surprisingly juicy bit of drama set during the lead up to the war in Iraq.

Keira Knightley plays Katherine Gun, a real-life British intelligence translator who worked for England’s Government Communications Headquarters, sort of like America’s NSA, circa 2003.

Gun comes into possession of a memo from the NSA implicating surveillance efforts for key members of the United Nations Security Council, an act that would essentially strong-arm votes for George W Bush’s post-9/11 war, and one that would require support from allies in British intelligence.

This doesn’t sit well with our heroine, so she leaks the document to an anti-war activist friend, setting into motion a series of events that finds famed newspaper The Guardian printing the information and exposing the US and England’s lies. Meanwhile, Katherine confesses and faces the consequences of violating the Official Secrets Act, a Parliamentary action established by Margaret Thatcher in 1989 to gag whistleblowers, even when the information is in line with public interest.

As we know, the war in Iraq began without the needed UN votes anyway, and the whole WMD

7 + JOURNALISM IS COOL; CRAZY INTERESTING - LOSES FOCUS; KNIGHTLEY’S CONSTANT YELLING

thing was nothing but a thinly veiled lie. Gun’s own conflicts raged on despite her unabashed patriotism. Knightley tackles the role with grace and intensity despite odd moments of shouting at the very people trying to help her. A brief but powerful turn from Ralph Fiennes as a lawyer from the organization Liberty (like our ACLU) is satisfying in its ruminations on morality and governmental ethics, and Dr. Who alum Matt Smith’s role as Guardian journalist Martin Bright follows in the footsteps of requisite journalism movies like The Post and All the President’s Men. Still, Official Secrets vacillates a little too much between its storylines. Is it a lesson in ethos, a newspaper movie, a political thriller or … what?

It’s kind of all those things, though it doesn’t stick with any one long enough. Granted, it’s always thrilling to see films about regular people and hard-nosed journalists stepping up to do what’s right against seemingly terrifying odds, but in painting with broad strokes, many of the charac-

ters therein feel like caricatures. Game of Thrones‘ Conleth Hill, for example, serves up a weirdly hammy performance as a Guardian editor underneath whose epithets and profanity the ground shakes.

Knightley’s scenes begin to feel less important somehow, although it seems like Hood’s shots after she comes clean are framed like CCTV camera angles; apropos both for the movie’s content and for a country that famously has more surveillance cameras than citizens.

In the end, we learn (or re-learn) governments lie to justify wars, though the real sadness lies in how we usually just nod our heads like that’s the most obvious thing in the world.

LOS REYES

+ ODDLY PLEASANT; DOGS ARE OBJECTIVELY AWESOME

- NOT WILDLY ACCESSIBLE

The oldest skatepark in Santiago, Chile, Los Reyes, sits just outside the looming metropolis itself, an oasis for Chilean youths, but also the home turf of Chola and Football, a pair of street dogs. Day by day, the elderly and stately Football tosses whatever items she finds in the large bowls where the skaters ride with the more youthful Chola at their side. Sometimes they toss the items back to the dogs, sometimes the dogs are left to their own devices.

Days turn into weeks and months. Skating events pop up and fade away. Some skaters share food with the dogs, some roll joints and bemoan their home lives. There are arguments and jokes told; a pregnancy and birth; the tale of a mother’s boyfriend hell-bent on ruining breakfast for a late-rousing teen. We learn bits and pieces of these young Chileans’ lives through audio alone as Football and Chola stand watch in the foreground, barking at passers-by, bathing in the park sprinklers and lazing in the heat of the sun—kings of the skatepark and fixtures for sure.

Directors Iván Osnovikoff and Bettina Perut’s Los Reyes certainly qualifies as

interesting, or maybe unique (as trite as that sounds), but only to a point. Word is, the pair originally set out to make a documentary about the skateboarding youth who hang around Los Reyes. Concerns about being identified, however, leave said teens out-of-frame at all times, but we do hear snippets of their stories played against footage of Football and Chola’s daily lives. There’s a parable in there somewhere. Probably.

It’s a challenge to stay focused on the stories during the thousandth shot of a panting dog embattled by summer heat or the closeup of insects clinging to fur. There is surely something to be said about Football and Chola’s freedom juxtaposed against the teens’ perceived oppression, but we only get word-of-mouth accounts peppered in with talk both hubristic and naive. Never do we learn if their lives are actually bad or good or in-between. We assume it’s the latter. Still, some kids think they’ll escape their humdrum lives through skateboarding, others literally announce their invincibility. It’s charming and silly and nostalgic in a way that eventually becomes borderline painful to hear.

Because maybe we do grow up too fast, and maybe we do let go of our youthful hubris before we’re ready, and that’s a shame. If a pair of street dogs can find the worthwhile in dropping a ball into a skatepark pool, maybe they are CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

THE GOLDFINCH

4

We, too, longed for a morphine pop during the meandering, confusing and irritating movie version of The Goldfinch. We hear the book’s good, though, but reading is hard. worth watching. If you’re expecting any particular story, don’t—but if you can glean meaning from simplicity, there’s an odd sort of Zen comfort to Los Reyes. If nothing else, it’s cute to see a dog try to bite the water spraying out of a sprinkler. Bless their hearts. (ADV)

TIGERS ARE NOT AFRAID

+ BEAUTIFULLY SHOT; THE YOUNG CAST - DULL IN QUIETER MOMENTS; RUSHED ENDING

Primarily a screenwriter, Issa López adds a director’s cap to her repertoire with Tigers Are Not Afraid, a 2017 film from Mexico making its way to our theaters now, and one that follows in the footsteps of Pan’s Labyrinth in its darkly intense fairy-tales-meet-real-life storytelling. Are the events real or the imagined result of severe trauma too ugly to face head-on? Whatever the answer, López’ glimpse at the underbelly of Mexico is both starkly challenging to watch and powerful in its ability to shine a light on certain horrors.

We follow a middle school-aged Estrella (Paola Lara) in the wake of a school shooting.

Her class was working on fairy tales moments before the shooting takes place, and her teacher, presumably in a bid to calm the young woman, hands her three pieces of broken chalk, describing them as wishes. Upon returning home, Estrella finds her mother missing, and using her first

wish to find her, believes that she accidentally unleashes something dark on the world. Terrified and alone, she falls in with a group of streetwise tweens led by the charismatic and gregarious Shine (Juan Ramón López). They run afoul of the Huascas cartel—the selfsame gang that appears to be kidnapping women like Estrella’s mother, and probably Shine’s as well— and together they attempt to stay alive and figure out where their mothers have gone.

Lara works small wonders as a sensitive kid faced with sheer insanity, but the bulk of the accolades go to her costars. Juan López in particular dominates his scenes with a magnetic mix of faux-insensitivity and loudmouthed con man who just isn’t very good at conning yet; he’s young, as is the rest of the cast, though none are wooden or boring. Quite the opposite, really, especially in a third act series of events that finds our heroes moving into an abandoned building and embracing their childhoods without fear for the first time in who knows how long.

But it’s a short-lived respite with the cartel on their heels, and it’s tragic watching youths forced to grow up too quickly. Still, as Estrella finds her power and unearths the secrets of her mother’s fate, she finds strength she didn’t know she had and a reluctant-but-caring family. Tigers becomes more about personal reclamation and growth, will over adversity. It isn’t always pretty, but it’s a relatable journey told well. (ADV)

+ THE MUSIC’S NICE; INTRIGUING …

AT FIRST

- EVERYONE IS PRETTY BAD

Oakes Fegley (Boardwalk Empire) and Ansel Elgort (Baby Driver) are Theo Decker, a young man caught up in a museum bombing who, for some reason, steals a Fabritius painting called “The Goldfinch” during the aftermath in the aptly-titled The Goldfinch, an adaptation of the 2014 Pulitzer Prize-winning novel The Goldfinch

by Donna Tartt.

The bombing kills Theo’s mom, so he’s sent to live with the Barbour family, a rich amalgamation of John Irving-esque characters led by Nicole Kidman and stocked with all kinds of high class problems bubbling up from behind the shadows. Of course, we never see those in detail so much as we observe Theo swallowing hard and waking from nightmares about the bombing and feeling sad, but the problems are there—just ask the elder brother who shows up for two seconds to slam a table and storm off because he was expelled from school for reasons we don’t hear about. Anyway, we aren’t really sure why Theo winds up with them; the film even has Kidman say something like “Sure, he knows my kid, but I wouldn’t say they’re friends.”

The rest is told through a combination of flashbacks and present day goings-on, which proves tedious at almost every turn, even as Theo babysits “The Goldfinch,” too terrified to alert the authorities and … too … something to let anyone else know. We watch as Theo gets super involved in the world of antiquing, where he meets Hobie (Westworld‘s Jeffrey Wright), who becomes a sort of father figure, though, again, we’re told that more than we’re shown that. And then there’s Pippa (Aimee Laurence/ Ashleigh Cummings), another survivor of the bombing and the niece of Hobie’s partner who did die in the bombing. Pippa used to love playing music, but the accident ended all that somehow, though that’s not explained either, save a scene that showcases a big fat head scar, so sure, yeah, head injury. Oh, woah, wait a minute … everything is connected! Naw, jay-kay, it’s all coincidental.

Because this thing is a mess, from the convoluted timelines to the needlessly long scenes that are, I don’t know, meant to show that Theo is a sensitive little dude. Finn Wolfhard of Stranger Things does manage to cobble together a halfway decent turn as a Russian buddy of Theo’s that makes us forget he’s been relegated to 1980s-ish stuff for his entire career, but the adult version of his character, like all the adult versions of all the characters, looks and acts so differently that it really kills the immersion.

MOVIES the utterly pointless series of events that lead to Theo’s engagement to one of the Harbour daughters. Best as I can tell, it’s meant to display how he seizes control of his life, but it’s fast and furious and really just quite weird.

Elsewhere, a cartoonishly shitty version of Theo’s father comes in the form of Luke Wilson making angry eyes and drinking too much, and American Horror Story mainstay Sarah Paulson as the dad’s girlfriend pops in to do some of that overacting she likes so much.

All the while, Theo looks sick and engages in narration about how we disguise ourselves even to ourselves, which maybe was deep in book form (or at least explained properly), but here feels like some kind of Cloud Atlas-level nonsense. Is it open to interpretation? Weak.

The ultimate payoff thus feels tempered by the events which lead to it, and though (no spoilers) there’s much to agree with philosophically speaking, the drawn out and meandering journey to get there is far too boring to allow for a direct hit. Instead, one might consider the moral-lite for a moment then move on forever, minus the “You can skip it,” conversations we’re all bound to have with our friends over the coming weeks. (ADV)

+ BELL IS AMAZING; SWEET AND

DISARMING - CONFLICTS FEEL SHOEHORNED

Thank goodness for Workaholics alum Jillian Bell, as funny an actor as is out there today and the person who, at least in her new film Brittany Runs a Marathon, seems to be taking over the Amy Schumer–ish body positivity mantle, only with results that feel like they actually matter and a more nuanced performance than Schumer could muster on her best day.

Bell is Brittany, a schlubby late-20s New York transplant from Philly who spends her nights drinking too much and/or canoodling in club bathrooms and her days late to work and/ or placating her thin and vapid roommate (Alice Lee). All that changes, however, when a trip to the doctor in search of Adderall finds Brittany confronted with her unhealthy life choices. A subsequent chance encounter with a neighbor who seemingly has her life together (Michaela Watkins, with whom Bell shared the screen in the recent Sword of Trust and with whom Bell shares an eerie natural chemistry) helps, too, and before we know it, Brittany decides she’s going to run the New York City Marathon.

Here comes the montage of workouts and nay-saying toxic relationships, and as the pounds start melting off, replaced by confidence but not

Stephen King makes even more money with yet another adaptation of his work, this time in clown form with a solid cast and disappointing final product. ridding our hero of her neuroses, a subtle morality play unfolds, asking us to assess why we do the things we do, why we believe the things we believe and whether or not our bodies should define us.

Of course they shouldn’t, and whereas other, similar films we might not have strayed too far from chubby girl gets thin and learns a thing or two about life, Brittany Runs a Marathon sneakily shifts from the weight loss shtick to encompass a more complete idea of self-improvement. Throw in a will-they/won’t-they thing with a sort-of coworker named Jern (Utkarsh Ambudkar, Pitch Perfect), y’know, to humanize Brittany and sweeten the deal. It might have felt hackneyed, but Bell and Ambudkar are straight up adorable together, so it works.

Director Paul Downs Colaizzo, who penned the script based loosely on a real life friend, deserves kudos for tackling the matter with sensitivity and graceful humor, though Bell’s role as executive producer might have lent a hand.

She owns the role of Brittany, too, portraying a flawed and damaged and dimensional person, temper tantrums and all, but one for whom it’s easy to root and who winds up inspiring in a way that doesn’t feel like movie absurdity. Don’t expect to laugh out loud, but do expect some self examination once you leave the theater. (ADV)

right doses, and the timing between the adult players (Bill Hader as Richie and James Ranson as Eddie Kasbrack in particular) creates a snappy, sustained goof. King’s own cameo is a hoot, replete with a snotty attitude about his everpresent, semi-autobiographical writer character.

In this case, it’s Bill Denbrough (James McAvoy, X-Men), who can’t seem to write a proper ending to a story to save his life. What’s supposed to be more than a sizzle of romance between he and the gang’s only girl (the grown up version of Beverly Marsh portrayed by a mostly blank faced Jessica Chastain) produces only minor heat. We love what’s emanating from Jay Ryan as grown-up Ben Hapscomb, though.

We’re not sticklers for every book-based plot to remain true to its pages, but this one veered too far off—especially the end, when it finally arrives.

Even as the Creepshow antics provide plenty of the jump scares we came for and drippy, popeyed and gross creatures undertake unthinkable maneuvers, there are long scenes during which the whole thing takes itself too seriously. We guess if you saw the first one, you should see it through.

But, don’t worry about getting back into the theater so fast when you take a bathroom break.

It’s fine. (Julie Ann Grimm)

IT CHAPTER TWO

CCA CINEMATHEQUE

+ GREAT LAUGH LINES - WAY TOO LONG

1050 Old Pecos Trail, 982-1338

The best part about director Andy Muschietti’s It Chapter Two is that it’s not heading for a third.

Whoever had the bright idea to turn the Stephen King tome into a two-part movie probably thought they had a blockbuster on their hands.

The story, after all, is a fantastic representation of how the King of Horror can take our childhood fears and celebrations and melt them into the lingering terror of adulthood. But this interpretation does it very little justice. The same sharp crayon probably also made the poor call that this timed-for-Halloween release should clock in at just under three hours.

It begins 27 years after Chapter One, and the scary clown that ate up the children of Derry, Maine, is apparently back and in need of another ass kicking.

The second best part is that the movie is actually funny. The first half even soars as the audience can’t decide whether to gasp (at the shocking opening gambit that is, in fact, how the book begins) or to giggle as the Losers Club comes back together. The same potty humor from the child version of Richie Tozer (Finn Wolfhard, Stranger Things) that had us snorting back laughter in the first chapter shows up in the

Week of September 25th

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Comedian John Cleese speaks of two different modes toward which we humans gravitate. The closed style is tight, guarded, rigid, controlling, hierarchical, and tunnel-visioned.

The open is more relaxed, receptive, exploratory, democratic, playful, and humorous. I’m pleased to inform you that you’re in a phase when spending luxurious amounts of time in the open mode would be dramatically healing to your mental health. Luckily, you’re more predisposed than usual to operate in that mode. I encourage you to experiment with the possibilities.

In normal times, I wouldn’t recommend that you Libras engage in actions that are so heedlessly and delightfully spontaneous. But I do now.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You could call the assignment I have for you as “taking a moral inventory” or you could refer to it as “going to confession.” I think of it as TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Upcoming adventures “flushing out your worn-out problems so as to clear a could test your poise and wit.

You’ll generate good fortune for yourself by guilt, and desperate mortifications. Deliver the mess to exploring your uncertainties and asking provocative questions. You may even thrive and exult and glow like me at Truthrooster@gmail.com. I’ll print out your testimony and conduct a ritual of purgation. As I burn your a miniature sun. Why? Because you need life to kick your ass in just the right gentle way so you will become confessions in my bonfire at the beach, I’ll call on the alert to possibilities you have ignored or been blind to. Goddess to purify your heart and release you from your angst. (P.S.: I’ll keep everything confidential.).

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Novelist John irving SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Two hundred years asked, “Who can distinguish between falling in love and imagining falling in love? Even genuinely falling in ago, Sagittarian genius Ludwig Beethoven created stirlove is an act of the imagination.” That will be a help- ring music that’s often played today. He’s regarded as ful idea for you to contemplate in the coming weeks. one of history’s greatest classical composers. And yet Why? Because you’re more likely than usual to fall in he couldn’t multiply or divide numbers. That inability made it hard for him to organize his finances. He once love or imagine falling in love—or both. And even if wrote about himself that he was “an incompetent busiyou don’t literally develop a crush on an attractive ness man who is bad at arithmetic.” Personally, I’m person or deepen your intimacy with a person you willing to forgive those flaws and focus on praising him already care for, I suspect you will be inflamed with for his soul-inspiring music.

The tiny electrons, which comprise the wall—of your own imagined limitations—just kick it in,” wrote playwright Sam Shepard. That seems like a rest of the basic unit, fly around in a vast, deserted area. So we can rightfully conclude that you are most- faulty metaphor to me. Have you ever tried to literally kick in a wall?

So what might be a better symbol for breaking through your imagined limitations? How allow your mind to be, the smarter you’ll become.
