La Havana Madrid at New Village Arts
Apr 16 – Apr 27
Overview
Step back to the 1960s as the Ray Charles Stage at NVA is transformed to honor La Havana Madrid, a real nightclub in Chicago where newly arrived Latino immigrants gathered to dine, dance and find community. As the glorious rhythms of mambo and salsa form the heartbeat of an ever-changing city, audiences learn the stories of Latine newcomers seeking a home in Chicago, discovering their destinies and falling madly in love. Sandra Delgado’s LA HAVANA MADRID is inspired by real stories of Cuban, Puerto Rican, and Colombian immigrants who found refuge in that vibrant second-floor supper club in the Lakeview neighborhood of Chicago.
By the end of the night, audiences need little encouragement to get on their feet and dance along, encouraged by a soul-stirring Latine beat. Bring your dancing shoes, because this production should not be missed.
