  1. 'Bruised MangOs: Rhythmic Ammunition por la Paz'
    • New York, NY.
    • 8:00pm

    Performance by Ollin Imagination. "Bruised MangOs: Rhythmic Ammunition por la Paz" is a Latino response to the Iraq War. It is a performance combining poetry, spoken word, music, and theater to convey the horrific effects of war on communities in the United States and abroad. The various characters explore the multifaceted dimensions of people affected by the war. The artists delve into the lives of war veterans, women, poor youth and immigrants. The crude reality, discrimination and hopelessness faced in war are common threads uniting the lives of these characters. Although filled with the injustices and horrors of war, humor and hope also blend to remind us of the possibility of a just and peaceful society. $20.The Brecht Forum is located at 451 West Street, between Bank and Bethune.
