Rocío and Krista were paired as collaborators for the 2021-22 Lit & Luz Festival Cohort and created a long poem, which they performed together. At this show, Krista and Rocío will be renuinited to perform their collaborative work, along with individual pieces.

They will be accompanied by pianist Paul Giallorenzo and guitarist and poet Bill MacKay. This program will also serve as a release event for Bill's recently published bilingual collection of poems, Movie House / Cine de sala.
