In Eric Aviles's autobiographical solo play a cousin’s funeral becomes the catalyst for facing the effects of growing up surrounded by poverty and violence, and for accepting the need for healing.
Set in the historically Puerto Rican neighborhood of Humboldt Park in Chicago, 'Where You From? What You Be About?' seamlessly moves from the past to present as it tells a story of how one man and his family reconciles the influences and subsequent death of a family member due to gun and gang violence. This transformational journey is an interdisciplinary solo play that includes spoken word, video projections, and a live DJ. Recommended for ages 12+.
