SUMMARY:6th Annual La Vida Es Cortos / Life Is Shorts Festival
DESCRIPTION:TEATRX annual festival encapsulates Hispanic Heritage Month by exploring rich and inspiring short stories through live theatre and cinema.\nLa Vida Es Cortos/Life Is Shorts Festival returns for its 6th year and will feature 7 brand new short plays that explore family dynamics in English\, Spanish\, and sometimes both. We begin with Alejandro Martinez’s directorial debut of Translation\, Traslacion\, Traducción Or Whatever You Call It by Hernán Angulo\, a play about a father and son finding a way to communicate their love. Mayra Monsivais also makes her directorial debut with the Spanish language comedy Café Deluxe by local playwright Doris Ramos who uses satire to examine how smartphones affect human interaction. In Knuckle Games by Erik Florentino\, brother and sister duke it out for their late father’s boxing gloves directed by Main Street’s own Jonathan Minshew-Gonzalez. Houston’s renowned writer and poet\, Jasminne Mendez directs The Garden of Night Blooming Flowers by Samantha Vargas about a couple caught in the middle of a battle between nobility and anarchy.\nThis year TEATRX will once again provide programming for young audiences with “La Vida Es Cortitos” two performances dedicated to showcasing short plays and films for young audiences ages 5 and up!\nLa Vida Es Cortitos\, or Cortitios\, will feature short films made for young audiences alongside 3 new short plays selected from a nationwide search. We begin with Adam Castañeda’s Pilot Dance Project presenting the dance theatre production\, Jarabe\, written by Adriana Domínguez. Jarabe explores a daughter’s memories of her mother through Folklorico dancing. Next\, TEATRX produces two plays for young audiences led by returning directors\, Angeles Romero and Laura Moreno. Romero will direct Silver Linings by Alicia Ana Hernandez-Roulet. Silver Linings demonstrates a mother’s determination to stop the cycle of addiction with love\, honesty\, and sacrifice. Finally\, Moreno directs Alien Menudo by native Houstonian and 3-time festival playwright Alvaro Saar Rios as he imagines a world where Mexican food is out of this world.\nThe festival will showcase a diverse and compelling lineup of short films by independent filmmakers from around the US and Latin America. The lineup will also include short dance films to provide a multidisciplinary experience like never before. Following every performance\, audiences will vote for their favorite short film.
