    Texas Performance Labs proudly presents Zero Libertad, an inter-modal arts guerilla-pop spectacle that channels war-survivor Zero Libertad’s life while entangled in the Contra Conflict of Nicaragua. Performed and written by Alana Macias and directed by Heather Barfield. Macias portrays Zero Libertad, performing betwixt and between the living and the dead, integrated with music, film, visual and live art, high and low culture, pain and pleasure, glam and slam. Audiences will be bombarded with velocity and stimuli in order to experience on a visceral level how the Contra War of Nicaragua was experienced by one broken spirit.

     

    Zero Libertad combines electronic beats, found sound, film treated with animation techniques, a live 60’s-style girl group, gestural language, and cultural intersections from 1980’s & 90’s Miami. This explosive piece aims to strangle you with a velvet glove. Zero Libertad wants you but she may kill you instead.
