Event is not just theater but a community gathering and storytelling celebration spotlighting Tucson's west side barrios and residents.
Sofía Moraga Franco Arizona Daily Star “West Side Stories” by Borderlands Theater is the fourth iteration in the theater’s “Barrio Stories" series, which focuses on reanimating and celebrating the heritage, culture and memories of barrios in and around Tucson.
The opening night at Bonita Park is Thursday, April 20, and like all other Barrio Stories before it, this is not just a play, but a theatrical festival. An augmented reality interactive exhibit will be available throughout the festival grounds and will depict the places and people of the westside form the 1940s to the ’60s, with holograms of people telling their stories in the westside of the past.
“I think the big thing when I was growing up was to get out,” Rodriguez says in a video created by Borderlands. “To work really hard to get out of the barrio. I hope our generation has a new sense of pride that we can bring back to our barrio and to give back to our people and our communities.”
