Viva La Vida with Excerpts from P1N0CCH10 &amp; Carmilla features new works and a returning Oceánica Ballet autumn tradition. 
Act 1 premieres selections from two upcoming story ballets. P1N0CCH10, a retelling of Carlo Collodi's classic tale of Pinocchio, explores humanity, artificial intelligence, and our relationship with the natural world. Carmilla, an adaptation of Sheridan Le Fanu's groundbreaking sapphic vampire novella, stages a mysterious masquerade ball.
Act II features the return of Viva La Vida, the original story of Lucio and Lupita in a joyful folklórico-infused tale about transcending loss and the resilience of love, inspired by Día de los Muertos. In this “celebration of life, loved ones and culture,” writes Jocelyn Tong of the Daily Californian, “mythic creatures from the land of the dead … [lead to] twirled scarves and snapped-open fans …in a story of homecoming.” Throughout all three stories, the wisdom of women across time and cultures is amplified.

The answer to homelessness is housing. The path to getting there is collaboration. 
Kathy Kimberlin, Fremont City Councilmember D3, was privileged to host her second Fremont screening of Beyond the Bridge, a powerful documentary exploring homelessness and the solutions that are achieved through collaboration. Many thanks to her stealth co-organizer Dr. Richard Godfrey. 
Mayors made up the post screening speaker panel: Raj Salwan-Fremont, Mike Hannon-Newark, Gary Singh-Union City, and Mark Salinas-Hayward were invited to come together to share successes, challenges, and innovative ideas for addressing homelessness across our communities.
 Alameda County Supervisors David Haubert and Elisa Marquez welcomed guests, shared their thoughts, and support at the Fremont Downtown Event Center. 
Q&amp;A offered an engaging opportunity to share perspectives and explore regional work for solutions. The audience reflected representatives from local city management, Alameda County and city staff, local law enforcement, and organizations including Citizens for Better Community, Fremont for Everyone, Abode, Tri-City Interfaith, SAVE, Melino Foundation, Thomas Flemming Tiny Homes, BACS, Fremont Chamber of Commerce, Tri-City Ecology, Move Mountain View, and more. 
Heartfelt Thank-You to the sponsors of Beyond the Bridge screening event in November 2025 and October 2026: Supervisor David Haubert, Supervisor Elisa M&aacute;rquez, Republic Services, Cargill, Citizens for Better Community, Washington Health, Abode Services&nbsp;, and Billy Roys Burgers. 
Thank you to the Tech Crew and community members who participated and continue to work toward collaborative solutions that provide various levels of affordable housing, dignity, and support for our unhoused neighbors.
