Free Street’s Night Out in the Parks show in 2022, There is a Future/Tenemos un Futuro toured five Chicago parks. A fun, interactive, bilingual play for all ages about what to do when you’re being poisoned, the piece was co-directed by staff members Coya Paz & Elizabeth Nungaray.
ABOUT THE PIECE: What’s the gap between the future you dream of for your community and the future being planned by developers? What’s already in the dirt, the water, the air and in planning agendas that leave community members out? “There Is a Future/Tenemos un Futuro” is an interactive performance that invites audiences to imagine a future that centers the health, wellbeing, and joy of Black and Brown communities and connects participants to organizing efforts in their neighborhoods.
