'LASOS,' the Spanish word for 'ties,' is a new work of film and live performance exploring the hidden links between childhood trauma and chronic pain within the context of Latin American culture and traditions.
Conceived and directed by Jocelyn Reyes, 'LASOS' mines the artist's personal story of recovery from debilitating pain. Like many first-generation Latin Americans living in the U.S., Reyes received a loving but severe upbringing in which corporal punishment was commonplace. After moving to San Francisco in 2017, she began to develop signs of fibromyalgia, a condition which eventually overwhelmed her central nervous system leaving her bedridden for months. 'LASOS' explores the journey Reyes made in the year that followed, uncovering the hidden ties between her childhood experience of abuse and her present-day affliction. With 'LASOS', Reyes aims to show that it's possible to break the cycle of suffering just as it's possible to break the cycle of violence.
Collaborators on 'LASOS' include dancers Jess Bozzo, Caitlin Hicks, Maya Mohsin and Brooke Terry; composers Emmet Webster, Michael Webster and Wolf Woodcock; lighting designer Grisel Torres; and costume designer Monique Prieto.
LASOS is generously supported by the Joe Goode Performance Group Co-Production Program, the CA$H Grant from Dancers' Group, and the San Francisco Arts Commission.
Pay-what-you-can to $100.
Presented by REYES Dance.
