Caminata: A Walk Through Immigrant America
Quique Aviles, a D.C. Latino performing artist and poet, this month will premiere the full version of "Caminata: A Walk through Immigrant America." In this one-man show, Aviles portrays immigrants from the Central African Republic, Iraq, Russia and El Salvador, as well as a South Korean adopted by white Americans, a New Yorker born to Italian parents who posed as French to enter the U.S., and an immigrant of unknown origin.
"Caminata" is presented by Sol & Soul, a D.C.-based arts and activism organization. Performances are Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays through Oct. 18 at the District of Columbia Arts Center (DCAC), 2438 18th St. NW. Tickets are $12 and $7 for students, seniors and DCAC members. A post-performance discussion with the audience will follow each show. For reservations, contact DCAC at 202/462-7833. For information about the show, call 202/526-4417.
DC Metro Action is published by Michael Schlesinger, a 32-year veteran of electoral and issue organizing who is committed to social justice and to increasing participation in the political process.
