Cafe Subterrain - February

Devised and directed by Rudy Ramirez
Immersive theater works by placing its audience amid the action; we’re taking this concept remote. Café Subterrain invites audience members to gather in a digital café where they’ll journey through virtual rooms to meet resistance agents from across time and space who will share their stories and empower audience members to commit small acts of change in their home communities. The idea: to give comfort and hope that the world can emerge from hardship to a better place, and that the struggle can feel like celebration. Our February performances are a second version of this production, but you do not need to have attended our December production to follow this version! If you attended in December, come back and check in with our café visitors again and share what you've done since you last saw them.
Presented live online: Feb. 10, 11, & 12 at 7:30 p.m.

About Café Subterrain

As we begin this event, we want to acknowledge that we gather as the University of Massachusetts Amherst Department of Theater on the traditional land of the Nipmuc, Wabanaki Confederacy and the Pocumtuc peoples past and present, whose ancient relationships with the land continue to this day. We honor with gratitude the land itself and the people who have stewarded it throughout the generations. Please take a moment to celebrate the resilience and strength that all Indigenous people have shown worldwide.
