The Civilians Present LET ME ASCERTAIN YOU: BOGOTÁ at the 92YTribeca, 6/13
By: Kelsey Denette May. 30, 2012
The Civilians (Steven Cosson, Artistic Director), the award-winning New York-based theater company known for projects investigating real life topics, presents Let Me Ascertain You: Bogotá.
This special evening features interviews with inmates at El Buen Pastor, the Colombian national women’s prison. Interviewees included members of the paramilitary, guerrilla fighters, drug smugglers, and more. The pageant, comprised of an evening gown competition, folk-dancing, and floats built from recycled materials, is a recent innovation in the prison system that shows increased support of rehabilitation for the incarcerated. The evening will provide a unique glimpse into life in a women’s prison and into the extraordinary personal stories behind the ongoing political struggles and warfare that the country continues to face. Don't miss this one-night-only performance in The Civilians' signature style created from this one-of-a-kind interview material.
Each live performance of the Let Me Ascertain You series is recorded and released online as a podcast series available for free on iTunes.
