Latin American Spectacle

Traveling performance and parade like never before seen in Boston's Latin Quarter. Free fun for the community!

Dates: May 28th and 29th, 2016

Time: 7:30pm

Based on Once A Blue Moon, Double Edge's Summer Spectacle 2015/2016, the story follows a traveler who returns to his hometown after many years. Memories of his past and stories about the town's colorful inhabitants evoke reflections about an increasingly universal theme: how progress can displace people. The show is imbued with the excitement of a Latin American carnival, and draws upon memory, culture, and song. Wrapped in a world of magic realism, audience members encounter and mingle with townspeople while traversing the landscape, which has surprising similarities to Boston's Latin Quarter.
