About this Event
Join us for a powerful evening of theater as Jesús I. Valles performs their solo performance of (Un)Documents, an evocative journey across borders, languages, and identities. Don’t miss this moving and deeply resonant performance. See you there!
In their first full-length solo performance, (Un)Documents, award-winning actor and poet Jesús I. Valles journeys across both sides of a river with two names, moving between languages to find their place as a child, a lover, a teacher, and a sibling in a nation that demands sacrifice at the altar of citizenship. In doing so, they create a new kind of documentation written with anger, fierce love, and the knowledge that what makes us human can never be captured on a government questionnaire. Directed by Rudy Ramirez.
