Incipit: “The man is sitting in a chair. He stares straight ahead, hands folded on his knees. He is like sitting in front of a court during a trial. But he is not a witness. He is like a defendant, a perennial accused who has the chance to speak but who already knows he will be considered guilty…”

Production as a part of the national programme of “Il Maggio dei Libri 2021”

Info: In 2016, Hispanic Federation launched FUERZAfest, the first LGBTQ+ Latinx Arts Festival in the Northeast which not only celebrated a vibrant community, but addressed critical issues impacting it. Since then, events have been held in New York City, Connecticut and Orlando to create a space for dialogue and awareness of the systemic barriers and threats faced by the Latinx communities.

FUERZAfest is a multidisciplinary Latinx festival that harnesses the visceral power of art to inspire recognition, visibility and respect for the people who transgress gender and sexual norms.
​
In light of the current sociopolitical climate, issues of transphobia, homophobia and anti-gay violence resonate significantly amongst Latinx people – which is why the creation of a positive culturally – sensitive space like FUERZAfest is of vital importance.
​
The festival brings diverse communities together to support artistic risk-taking, incite creative collaboration and experimentation, and celebrate the rich heritage of Latinx queer artists and art.
