Urban Odyssey (2012)

Loco7's production of Urban Odyssey, at La Mama through April 8, is a powerful and visually stunning interdisciplinary production, and a sensory banquet. Co-created by Restrepo (also performer, director, choreographer and puppet designer) and Denise Greber (also performer and costume-designer), it is the culmination of a ten-year exploration in depicting the experience of immigration to America, based on Restrepo's own journey from Colombia. An interplay of puppets, masks, live music, video, dance and poetry explore the internal and external struggles an immigrant faces.
