About I Dream America
2006-2007 has seen contra-tiempo and Alvarez embark on a new collaboration: "I Dream America". "I Dream America" is a Urban Latin movement opera, which primarily seeks to engage the tensions, commonalities, strains and histories between the Black and Latino communities. Traversing the political landscape of immigration, the civil rights movement and Hurricane Katrina, "I Dream America" will investigate compassion and peace and paint a disarming and thought-provoking critique of contemporary life and injustice. Parts of the piece were debuted in in Mexico this October (2006) as part of the Festival Internacional de Teatro de Los Angeles (FITLA). The first full performance will be debuted at the Unknown Theater this July 2007. For more information about this company check out www.contra-tiempo.org
