Teatro ECAS presenta:  Impacto Desproporcionado – Octubre 14 al 24
Escrita y dirigida por Francis Parra.
Teatro ECAS plasma las vivencias de un sector de la población Latinx en Rhode Island y con parte del repertorio de actores de ECAS.  En el escenario se muestran las disparidades raciales en forma desproporcionada debido al extremo contagio del Coronavirus, estas cifras ocuparon así el mayor índice de la población infectada por el COVID-19.  Impacto Desproporcionado es una recolección de entrevistas realizadas a hispanos en Rhode Island, que relatan sus historias y penurias como inmigrantes en un tiempo de incertidumbre.  Sectores desprotegidos por falta de seguros de salud o estatus migratorio indefinido les hicieron perder sus vidas en silencio, soledad y crudeza durante el tiempo de la pandemia.  Las entrevistas fueron realizadas por Francis Parra desde junio de 2020 hasta febrero de 2021.

Impacto Desproporcionado es posible gracias al patrocinio del programa de:  New England Foundation for the Arts’ New York New England, National Endowment for the Arts, Seedlings Foundation, Fund for the Arts at NEFA, the Rhode Island Council for the Humanities, The Rhode Island Foundation y todos nuestros donantes.

Nota: la nueva fecha de apertura de la obra es el jueves 14 de octubre.

Impacto Desproporcionado: Jueves 14 de octubre a las 7 p.m. Viernes 15 de octubre a las 7 p.m. Sábado 16 de octubre a las 7 p.m. Domingo 17 de octubre a las 3 p.m. Jueves 21 de octubre a las 7 p.m. Viernes 22 de octubre a las 7 p.m. Sábado 23 de octubre a las 7 p.m. Domingo 24 de octubre a las 3 p.m.

Las entradas son gratuitas, pero deben reservarse con antelación a través de la web del Teatro ECAS. Debes estar vacunado y enmascarado en todo momento para asistir al teatro en Teatro ECAS.


Teatro ECAS presents:

Impacto Desproporciondo (Disproportionate Impact)     Oct 7 -24, 2021
Written and directed by Francis Parra.
In April 2020, 45% of the cases of COVID-19 in Rhode Island were Latinx. The demographics show that only 13% of the population is Latinx. Why this discrepancy? Teatro ECAS presents a documentary play based on interviews conducted with front line healthcare workers and Latinx essential workers. Due to lack of health insurance or indefinite immigration status, vulnerable people lost their lives in silence, solitude and bitterness during the pandemic.

Impacto Desproporcionado (Disproportionate Impact) was made possible with funding by the New England Foundation for the Arts’ New Work New England program, from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Seedlings Foundation, the Fund for the Arts at NEFA, the Rhode Island Council for the Humanities, The Rhode Island Foundation and individual donors.

October 14.
