We are an international ensemble of theatre artists studying at Dell’Arte International School of Physical Theatre in Blue Lake, Humboldt County, California. Our original theatre production, CITIZENS OF NOWHERE, was originally produced at Dell’Arte and has been selected as one of four finalists and participating productions for the International University Theatre Festival (Festival Internacional de Teatro Universitario), presented by Teatro UNAM in Mexico City.
This original tragedy was devised as part of our second-year studies, written and staged by the eight of us over the course of seven weeks under the guidance of and in collaboration with Dell’Arte faculty members Sayda Trujillo and Laura Munoz. The story surrounds Jama, a teenage refugee who is the second generation born within a city of exiles. When the rations are cut, what lengths will she go to protect her family and save her people? A story of soldiers and the wall they uphold, of love amidst the ruins of war — the inescapable fate of our heroine unfolds through the course of this classically modeled tragedy.
