En el nombre del padre (In the Name of the Father) is a performance blessing in four acts. It uses poetry, movement, and storytelling to reflect on ancestral and personal wounds caused by colonization and patriarchal family dynamics.
In this bilingual piece, siri gurudev asked the currently Austin-based latinx artists, intellectuals, and writers: Adriana Linares (Guatemala), Nathalia Hernández Ochoa (El Salvador), and César Iván A Ibarra (México), and the Bogotá-based Paola Correa (Colombia) to join them on a non-linear journey between grief and hope, sadness and joy, despair and collective healing.
This project is the final product of a 3-month artistic residency with Ground Floor Theatre, Austin, 2021.
