Next Stage Arts presents multidisciplinary flamenco artist Laura Sánchez, with her work Welcome to Holland!? on Sunday, November 24 at 3:00 pm at Next Stage Arts, 15 Kimball Hill, in Putney.
Step into a world of resilience and inspiration with Welcome to Holland!?—a breathtaking multidisciplinary flamenco performance that will touch your heart and ignite your spirit.
Join us for a transformative 75-minute journey that beautifully intertwines flamenco, poetry, humor, and film, celebrating the incredible strength of caregivers. Experience the story of an immigrant mother as she navigates her unique “Holland!?”—a landscape reshaped by trauma. Watch as everyday objects transform into powerful symbols of hope, guiding her through challenges and illuminating the path to belonging. This transformative journey challenges stereotypes about motherhood and disability, shedding light on the diverse experiences of caregivers and fostering empathy towards non-traditional families.
Don’t miss this immersive theatrical experience that invites you to reflect, connect, and celebrate a world where we all belong.
