LOS GRISES/THE GRAY ONES is a celebration of old age and a call to inclusiveness, with the aim of motivating and encouraging us to pay greater attention to the well-being of our seniors. Set to the backdrop of Boleros, Tangos, Mambos and the various musical genres from yesteryear. Join a few senior members of our community, represented by eight hybrid puppets in a vignette based, unscripted street performance, as they take a walk down memory lane and share their experiences, dreams and stories through movement, dance and pantomime, no words at all.
LOS GRISES / THE GREY ONES es una celebración de la vejez y un llamado a la inclusión, con el objetivo de motivarnos y animarnos a prestar mayor atención al bienestar de nuestros mayores. Con el telón de fondo de boleros, tangos, mambos y otros diversos géneros musicales de antaño, únase a algunos miembros mayores de nuestra comunidad, representados por ocho títeres híbridos en una actuación callejera sin guión basada en viñetas, mientras caminan por el carril de la memoria y comparten sus experiencias, sueños e historias a través del movimiento, la danza y la pantomima.

Entre ON & OFF: Episode 3
Premieres on Monday, June 27th at 7:00 pm
|
|
|
|
Entre ON & OFF is a comedy/variety TV show created by and starring Gilberto Gabriel and Andrés López-Alicea who are the 2022 recipients of the Loisaida Center's Artistic Residency Program. In this NYC based show, the audience will have the chance to experience all the fun of the ONs and OFFs of this city.
In Episode 3, after six months of being the artistic residents of Loisaida, Gilberto and Andrés end the first cycle of Entre ON & OFF. On the last episode of their first season Gilberto finds himself going through a denial phase due to the ending of the show and Andrés tries to make him understand that nothing is forever. They organize a fundraising marathon so that they can continue with the show but they are the only ones that subscribe to it. Andrés visits Kareem Holmes from Big City Tourism and joins him for a ride along the Hudson River, and Gilberto interviews Edmi De Jesús one of the creators and directors of the Raíces Summer Program.
Watch the premiere of Episode 3 on LoisaidaTV, Monday, June 27th!
