Motus + Victor Escobedo “A Dim Light”
Opening Reception & Performance
Thursday, May 11th
Reception: 6:00 PM
Performance: 7:30 PM
Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art
Join the Motus Theater & the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art for an inspiring exhibition featuring UndocuAmerica monologist Cristian Solano-Córdova, visual artist, Victor Escobedo, and a Motus Playback Theater performance where you can see your stories of courage being played by professional improv actors.
Motus Playback Theater is an adventure of improvisational theater where you share a short reflection or story, and then watch professional improv actors enact YOUR story on the spot using movement, music, and dramatic spoken word. Whether your story is humorous or heart-wrenching, from the past or just happened yesterday, Motus Theater will create an inspiring event centered around the life experiences of the audience.
This event opens the second collaborative exhibition of Motus & Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art featuring visual artists at BMoCA’s Present Box. On May 11th, Victor Escobedo will unveil his visual art inspired by Cristian Solano-Córdova’s monologue. This exhibition was created in response to the defacing of outdoor murals featuring Motus’ UndocuAmerica monologists that were installed across Denver and Boulder in 2022.
In addition to Escobedo’s artwork, Motus Theater will be presenting images of the original murals on postcards, each with a QR code linking to videos of the UndocuAmerica monologists telling their personal stories. As a community, we have the opportunity and responsibility to coalesce, heal, and come back stronger. You can be a part of this healing response by mailing the UndocuAmerica stories to your family, friends, and neighbors.
Admission to the reception and performance is free, so join us for an evening of art, storytelling, and community healing. We hope to see you there!
Admission for this performance is free and open to the public.
