OYE Group’s Flako Jimenez will share material he will be writing and refining during his residency for the production of Mercedes — a new multidisciplinary theatrical work, based on and named after his grandmother, in which he invites us to explore our relationship to the matriarchy and our ancestors, familial bonds and inherited trauma, and how our own identity can impact our mental health.
This residency is supported in part, through a grant from the Network of Ensemble Theatres’ Travel & Exchange Network (NET/TEN), supported by lead funding from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
