SUMMARY:Chantel Acevedo and Santiago Gamboa in Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Join us to celebrate the publication of two new fantastic novels coming from Europa Editions for Miami-based historical novelist Chantel Acevedo and Colombian literary giant Santiago Gamboa. \nA sweeping new historical novel from acclaimed author Chantel Acevedo\, The Living Infinite is inspired by the true story of the Spanish princess Eulalia\, an outspoken firebrand at the Bourbon court during the troubled final years of her family’s reign. Chantel Acevedo’s last novel\, The Distant Marvels\, was (excluding Ferrante) Europa’s best selling novel of 2015. Acevedo’s new novel is an atmospheric and gripping tale of love\, adventure\, power and one woman’s quest to take control of her destiny in a society whose rules aim to rein her in. Bourbon Spain\, Revolutionary Cuba\, and fin-de-siècle America are vividly rendered and Eulalia’s personal rebellion resonates long after the final page of this captivating saga. \n“[The Living Infinite] is a vivid and enthralling tale of love and redemption.”— Booklist \n“Fresh\, fast-moving historical fiction from a master storyteller.” —Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review) \nChantel Acevedo was born in Miami to Cuban parents. She is the author of A Falling Star (Carolina Wren Press\, 2014)\, Love and Ghost Letters (St. Martins\, 2006)\, winner of the Latino International Book Award\, and The Distant Marvels (Europa\, 2015). Acevedo is an Associate Professor of English in the MFA Program at the University of Miami. \nReturn to the Dark Valley travels between European cities scarred by terrorism that have turned increasingly xenophobic\, Latin American landscapes that carry their own sense of danger enveloped in “new world” promise\, and the African continent\, which has exerted a shadowy fascination on the European psyche throughout the ages. Santiago Gamboa’s newest novel to be translated into English\, Return to the Dark Valley\, is a polyphonic novel that spans centuries and continents in its exploration of the themes of exile\, human frailty\, and the impossibility of return. Written in the sparkling prose and with the masterful suspense that have made Santiago Gamboa an international literary sensation\, Return to the Dark Valley is a richly imagined portrait of a turbulent world where liberation is found in perpetual movement and determined exploration. \n“Gamboa’s work calls to mind Roberto Bolaño in its masterful suspense\, complex literary references\, and frank depiction of violence\, sex\, and drugs.” —Publishers Weekly \n“Gamboa’s talent at cultivating intrigue and the extravagant energy of his stories make him compulsive reading.”—Times Literary Supplement \nNovelist\, short story writer\, and journalist\, Santiago Gamboa was born in Colombia in 1965. His American debut\, published by Europa in 2012\, was the novel Necropolis\, winner of the Otra Orilla Literary Prize. He is also the author of Night Prayers (Europa\, 2016). \n

SUMMARY:Take Root presents Sarah Starkweather and Muliebris Dance Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Take Root presents Sarah Starkweather and Muliebris Dance Theatre \nSarah Starkweather: Fin de la noche is a multidisciplinary performance that underscores the adverse effects of light pollution on the ecosystem and human condition. From a bird’s eye view\, Sarah Starkweather explores archetypal imagery of light and darkness to present a familiar\, yet idiosyncratic\, blend of contemporary movement that evokes nostalgia and stimulates the senses. Fin’s undertones are deeply rooted through each individual dancer’s metamorphic experiences as professionals in the city shared with a contrasting nuance that spotlights the grit and glam of show business. Lastly\, Starkweather and her dancers would like to promote Earth Hour which is happens once a year around the globe\, where millions of people\, businesses\, and landmarks set aside an hour to host events\, switch off their lights\, and make noise for climate change action. Next year\, you can participate on Saturday\, March 24\, 2018\, from 8:30-9:30pm EST. Carpe Noctum! \nMuliebris Dance Theatre’s collaboration with sound designer Asha Tamirisa creates three different dimensions\, each containing its own properties and questions. In each\, women work together to battle against unseen forces. What does it mean to be female? We see them perform rituals\, immersed in nature: hair down\, unbound\, returning the gaze—a celebration of female strength and communal power. \nSeptember 22 & 23\, 2017 at 8pm\nAdmission: $15 online\, $20 at the door\nGreen Space Studio\n37-24 24th Street\, #301\nLong Island City\, NY 11101\n718-956-3037 \nTickets are available at the door or online at http://www.greenspacestudio.org/TakeRoot.html \nTake Root is a monthly curated series that supports dance makers by providing an opportunity to show a half evening work paired with another artist. \nPhoto Credits: Joe Desimone/Optik House and Rourou Ye \n
