Lit and Luz Festival: The Live Magazine Show
6pm @ The Museum of Contemporary Art
220 E. Chicago Ave, Chicago, IL 60611
Experience Live Magazine Show, the concluding celebration of the Lit & Luz Festival of Language, Literature, and Art. Each year, the Lit & Luz program supports the creation of new collaborative artworks between writers, visual artists, and musicians from Chicago and Mexico. In the months leading up to the festival, teams of participating artists from the two cities work remotely to co-create a performance incorporating their respective mediums. The pieces are presented during the festival in both Spanish and English and they often explore the relationship between the languages, art forms, and cultures of the United States and Mexico. This iteration is presented in Spanish and English. Featuring: José Olivarez + Jimena González Kristiana Rae Colón + Edgar Cobián Edgar Garcia + Mariana Deball Castillo Emilio Rojas + Natalia Toledo Daniel Kraus + Fernanda Melchor Bill MacKay + Julián Herbert
