Tertúlia Em Cena - Voice & Movement Laboratory
Presented by Group Dot BR - NY’s only Brazilian Theatre Company
Tertúlia In Cena: Dialogue in Motion is a hybrid theatre and voice on-going laboratory that reimagines life as a space for embodied dialogue and creative inquiry. Rooted in the Latin American and Iberian tradition of the tertúlia—intimate gatherings for exchange and reflection—it invites participants to explore the whole body and its presence as a channel for transformation, both individual and collective.
In an era marked by disconnection and performance-driven expression, this lab cultivates deep attention, relational awareness, and meaningful expression through movement, vocal exploration, and physical presence. The approach draws from my experience as a theatre artist, a Choreographic Theatre and Roy Hart-inspired voice teacher, as well as an integrative therapist.
Tertúlia In Cena welcomes both emerging and established artists and the general public to engage in non-hierarchical, process-centered exploration, opening pathways for future artistic collaborations, shared inquiry, and embodied presence in contemporary performance.
Note: Please wear comfortable clothes, bring your water, and an open mind!
Opening Night: NY Premiere of Desarchivar la mirada
What does historical justice look like? After a successful world premiere in Puerto Rico, Desarchivar la Mirada comes to CENTRO for its New York premiere! Don’t miss the opening night of this compelling exhibition challenging the original purpose of postcards produced between 1898 and 1915. As Puerto Rico entered its colonial status under the U.S., the territory was intensely photographed. These images played a role in constructing “otherness” that was legible and exportable; part of a visual regime that accompanied the island’s political, economic, and symbolic reorganization following Spanish American war.
Nuevas Voces: New Voices in Latin Jazz
Two of the hottest new Cuban trumpet players in the NYC jazz scene perform the repertoires of both bands.
Pahua
This will be an incredible evening of global bass and Latin fusion! Pahua (’/pa-wah/) is a singer, composer, percussionist, DJ, and producer from Mexico City who mixes Caribbean and folkloric beats with electronics and percussion, creating a border-busting dance-party soundtrack rooted in ancient rhythms and melodies. From Brazilian funk and dancehall to South American folkloric music, cumbia, and global bass, Pahua’s music will keep you on your feet all night long!
With a nuanced approach to Folktronica, this co-founder of the neocumbia experimental Sotomayor Music project delves into tribal Latin rhythms, texturing them with airy house music, while her arrangements—packed with great vibes—reveal cumbia, Afrobeat, kuduro, dembow, and dancehall influences. Her voice floats amidst these finely tuned sounds, sometimes as an airy whisper and at others as a front-and-center singer that invites you into her deceptively complex aural world.
Join us before the concert for a special pre-show talk (details coming soon!) and stick around to dance the night away on our theater dance floor. Mexican eats will also be available for sale.
About the Artist
Pahua (’/pa-wah/) is a singer, composer, percussionist, DJ, and producer from Mexico City who mixes Caribbean and folkloric beats with electronics and percussion. With early roots as a Mariachi singer, she is a rising star of the Latin Wave and co-founder of the neocumbia experimental Sotomayor Music project. Her solo work twists traditional Latin rhythms with subtle electronics, drawing from Brazilian funk, dancehall, South American folkloric music, cumbia, Afrobeat, kuduro, and dembow. Her voice floats between airy whispers and commanding leads, inviting listeners into a deceptively complex aural world of self-love and empowerment.

GUAC
GUAC is a fearless, funny, and deeply moving theatrical tour-de-force about a father turned activist. Eight years after his son Joaquin "Guac" Oliver was killed in the Parkland shooting, Manuel Oliver channels his love, loss, and rage into a powerful force for change. From pepperoni bacon pizza to air guitar solos, Oliver paints a vivid, unforgettable portrait of a vibrant life cut short—and a father’s relentless fight for a better future. Both a celebration and a rallying cry, GUAC pulls zero punches and speaks to anyone who has ever loved, lost, or dreamed of making a difference.
Art in All Places / A Blessing
Please join in opening the AiOP 2026: UTOPIAS festival with a blessing performed by Nicolás Dumit Estévez Raful Espejo Ovalles Morel Atrib
Nicolás dedicates this to Linda Mary Montano
"Right when clocks in New York City mark 12:01 AM on September 26, 2026, I, Nicolás, convene with a small cadre at a public yet clandestine location on 14th Street in Manhattan, to bestow a blessing on Art in Odd Places (AiOP). This is meant to be the very first gesture for the 2026 Festival, hence releasing a spiritual and energetic reverberation throughout two unfolding days of actions in our streets.
With Art in All Places / A Blessing, I rely on my own understanding of art as an inextricable part of the mystery called Life, as well as from my personal proposition that utopias at this decisive moment in history can serve as a locus where to experiment with freedom in the midst of rampant repression. Also, with the fact that not everything needs to be made visible, and that there can be power in that which remains concealed. Our gathering unravels at the threshold of the late-night and early-morning, hence tracing a circular path that goes back to those courageous artists who have dared to engage spirituality in the arts for decades.
Those wishing to attend in person, must RSVP by September 24, 11:59 PM, and will be guided to meet me, Nicolás, outside a specific location the actual day of the gathering. No exact location will be disclosed and I, Nicolás, will guide you to our secret destination. Those willing to attend in spirit will need to RSVP using a separate link, and they will receive some suggestions as to how to engage from wherever they are, mentally-spiritually-emotionally."
Other than an audio to be produced by AiOP, there is absolutely no other filming, photographing or audio-recording permitted.

Sou! Sou! Saturdays: Heat, Marronage & Liberation
Join the Caribbean Cultural Center African Diaspora Institute (CCCADI), in collaboration with MoMA, for an intergenerational exploration of ecology as a tool of liberation for participants 13 years old and up. Our ancestors read the land, the sky and the animals around them as instruments of freedom and this program invites the community to revisit that knowledge together. The day includes a reimagining of the mosquito as a folktale character linking West Africa to the Caribbean collective mapping of participants’ own stories and healing practices, and a panel exploring the topic through plant knowledge and carnival characters. The day closes with a Fete, embodying heat as a tool for both individual and collective liberation.

Esta Isla Screening
As part of the BoriCorridor Screening Tour, Ágora Cultural Architects presents a special screening of Esta Isla, an intimate, thought-provoking film developed in Puerto Rico by a new generation of internationally recognized filmmakers.
A deeply personal and poignant portrait of the Puerto Rican experience that dives into the complexities of identity, resilience, and colonial legacy, the film had its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival, where it was honored with Best Cinematography, Best New Director, and the Jury Award. In 2026 it was nominated for the prestigious Spirit Awards, where it won the John Cassavetes Award, solidifying its place as one of the most celebrated Puerto Rican films.
Bebo, a teenager from a coastal Puerto Rican town, lives with his brother in a public housing complex. They fish for a living, but growing desperation drives them to illegal dealings that promise easy money. When a job goes wrong and blood is spilled, Bebo flees with Lola, a wealthy girl seeking to escape her troubled reality. As they navigate the labyrinthine mountains, they encounter remnants of a fading way of life, contrasting with the violence that follows them. As hitmen close in, Bebo must confront his choices and decide if redemption is possible, or if the sea will be their final escape.
VISIONES - for our collective future
“Visiones” - For our collective future, from la diáspora to Borikén.
Our paths were paved by the steps our ancestors took. We are the fruit that bloomed from the love cultivated by our land, the celestial beings above, and the ones that came before.
Every day we live out the visions of what the brave ones who revolted, dreamed of.
“Visiones” is a kaleidoscope of the collective past, present, and future we are creating.
These works are portals that offer an intimate look into the current reality of our community.
The colonial violence inflicted on our divine motherland and our people has forever changed the course of history. Our people stripped of the infrastructure to meet their basic needs, our natural resources exploited, and the displaced robbed of a life that could have been lived in our sacred archipelago.
“Visiones” offers a multifaceted perspective on how we continue to fight for our sovereignty as a people.
Referencing historical moments within the artwork, and incorporating our modern revolution, “Visiones” is a conversation about how we imagine our communal future.
Our spirits, through art, joy, and perreo manifest the fire of el sol Taíno, and the land that screams for its children to defend her. From Borikén to La Diáspora, we will continue to build on las visiones that our ancestors laid out for our path to liberation.

Eight years after his son Joaquin "Guac" Oliver was killed in the Parkland shooting, Manuel Oliver channels his love, loss, and rage into a powerful force for change. From pepperoni bacon pizza to air guitar solos, Oliver paints a vivid, unforgettable portrait of a vibrant life cut short—and a father’s relentless fight for a better future. Both a celebration and a rallying cry, GUAC pulls zero punches and speaks to anyone who has ever loved, lost, or dreamed of making a difference.

Viva Pinocho: A Mexican Pinocchio
On Saturdays at 3:00 PM!
What happens when the world's most mischievous puppet is born in Mexico, dreams of crossing to "The Other Side," and carries with him the blessing of the Virgin of Guadalupe?
After its successful debut at the 4th International Puppet Fringe Festival NYC, Teatro SEA presents Viva Pinocho: A Mexican Pinocchio, a bilingual production in Spanish and English that reimagines the Pinocchio classic through the heart of the Latino experience. Written by Manuel Antonio Morán, this is far more than the story of a puppet who can't stop lying — it's the portrait of a family searching for each other, a community fighting to be seen, and a little boy — made of wood, yes — who discovers that the greatest act of courage is never forgetting who you are.
Recommended for ages 7 and up.

The Caribbean Cultural Center African Diaspora Institute (CCCADI), in collaboration with The Leonard Davis Center for the Performing Arts and the Hostos Center for the Arts & Culture, presents Violines Para Ochún, a newly commissioned work led by musical director and master percussionist Omo Aña Louis Bauzó.
Created as a musical tribute to the Orisha deity Oshún, the performance takes audiences on a journey from Osogbo, Nigeria, to the African Diaspora. The performance honors Yoruba spiritual traditions that endured despite the Transatlantic Slave Trade, featuring an intergenerational ensemble of elders, drummers, singers, dancers, and practitioners. This newly commissioned work celebrates the enduring power of a sacred tradition preserved and passed down across generations.

Viva Pinocho: A Mexican Pinocchio
On Saturdays at 3:00 PM!
What happens when the world's most mischievous puppet is born in Mexico, dreams of crossing to "The Other Side," and carries with him the blessing of the Virgin of Guadalupe?
After its successful debut at the 4th International Puppet Fringe Festival NYC, Teatro SEA presents Viva Pinocho: A Mexican Pinocchio, a bilingual production in Spanish and English that reimagines the Pinocchio classic through the heart of the Latino experience. Written by Manuel Antonio Morán, this is far more than the story of a puppet who can't stop lying — it's the portrait of a family searching for each other, a community fighting to be seen, and a little boy — made of wood, yes — who discovers that the greatest act of courage is never forgetting who you are.
Recommended for ages 7 and up.

LOCATION: Pat’s Lawn is located at the northwest corner of Inwood Hill Park off of Indian Road and 218th Street in Inwood, NYC.

SPONSORSHIPS: If you would like to be a sponsor of this event, please email us at UptownReads@WordUpBooks.com. Sponsors will be featured in our promotional materials.

Tertúlia Em Cena - Voice & Movement Laboratory
Presented by Group Dot BR - NY’s only Brazilian Theatre Company
Tertúlia In Cena: Dialogue in Motion is a hybrid theatre and voice on-going laboratory that reimagines life as a space for embodied dialogue and creative inquiry. Rooted in the Latin American and Iberian tradition of the tertúlia—intimate gatherings for exchange and reflection—it invites participants to explore the whole body and its presence as a channel for transformation, both individual and collective.
In an era marked by disconnection and performance-driven expression, this lab cultivates deep attention, relational awareness, and meaningful expression through movement, vocal exploration, and physical presence. The approach draws from my experience as a theatre artist, a Choreographic Theatre and Roy Hart-inspired voice teacher, as well as an integrative therapist.
Tertúlia In Cena welcomes both emerging and established artists and the general public to engage in non-hierarchical, process-centered exploration, opening pathways for future artistic collaborations, shared inquiry, and embodied presence in contemporary performance.
Note: Please wear comfortable clothes, bring your water, and an open mind!

Manual de Autoayuda/ Self-Help Manual
A guest presentation from Chile by Teatro Infausto.
Created and directed by Nicolás Venegas
Featuring María Figueroa and Nicolás Venegas
Genre: Dark comedy
Language: Spanish with English supertitles
IATI Theater presents Teatro Infausto’s Manual de Autoayuda, a dark comedy from Chile that blends theater, performance, and autofiction to examine self-help culture and the contemporary pursuit of happiness.
A performer takes the stage and declares his permanent inability to be happy. In search of an answer, he turns to the tools that neoliberal culture offers to manage his constant dissatisfaction: self-help, coaching, and their many variations. Moving from the personal and intimate toward the political and collective, the work asks: Is it possible to achieve happiness as a permanent state?
Through biographical storytelling, irony, and moments of audience interaction, Manual de Autoayuda explores the pressures surrounding happiness, emotional well-being, and personal fulfillment. The production incorporates audience interaction as part of the performance; participation is always voluntary.
