Sana, Sana traces matrilineal and Hispanic lineages to find magic, identity and healing. In this evening-length work, four performers are accompanied by a mirage of frogs in retrieving childhood comforts, spells, and remedies to heal forward. The performers explore a tribute to themselves through movement, spoken word, crocheting, pointing, pushing, and raving. An intimate and immersive evening of reflection, audiences are reminded that, like the popular children’s saying “Sana, Sana, Colita de Rana”, if you won’t heal today, you will heal tomorrow.
