No History: A Solo Theater Piece by Reynaldo Piniella, Culture Lab LIC Emergence Residency Artist
A coming of age story celebrating our shared history...
No History by Reynaldo Piniella is a solo theater piece about Arturo Schomburg, a man who crossed oceans in a quest to preserve our history. This diasporic journey will fill us up with cornbread before transporting us to the frontlines of the fight for Cuban and Puerto Rican independence, the streets of New York City during the Harlem Renaissance, and back to the kitchen where it all began. We will experience the music of the Caribbean, the joy of eating soul food for the first time, and the poetry of Harlem. And we'll rediscover San Juan Hill, the community that was uprooted to build Lincoln Center. With guest appearances from Billie Holiday, Langston Hughes and W. E. B. DuBois, this coming-of-age story will make us celebrate our shared history and inspire us to save our grandmother's recipes.
