MIGRAN-TE

‘Migran-te’ is an outdoor multidisciplinary performance created by Latinx artists Pepa Duarte and Charly Monreal, presented as part of Plataforma Festival and produced by Xacara Culture.

The show explores the intimate and ritualistic act of ‘having tea’ in Latin America, transposing the privacy of the home to the public space, through sound and movement.

Performed live by two actors, the piece is accompanied by a soundscape gathering the experiences of migration of 7 Latinx households living in the UK.

Migran-te is created by a diverse team of migrant creatives, designed to take ownership of the streets and bring the stories of those often unheard to the centre of our civic spaces. It’s soundscape is made by the composer and musician Tom Sochas, who, alongside the creators, worked with more than 6 hours of conversations with seven latinx families about their journey to the UK. Through their voices the piece aims to carry the audience to various Latin American homes.
