About the event
Conceived, composed, and co-directed by Molina, The Long Walk Home is a multimedia-audio documentary-concert which shares the epic true story of a Guatemalan Mayan family fleeing violence in their homeland, surviving a dangerous journey to the USA, Narco predators at the border, family separation in U.S. detention centers, their miraculous reunification, and their art of clowning. A 5 piece ensemble featuring Bay Area and NYC musicians will perform a live score to this powerful story. Members range from jazz, classical, electronic, latin folklórico, and experimental music backgrounds. For nearly a year Molina conducted and recorded interviews with immigrants, activists, and lawyers. Social justice theater artist Roberto G. Varea and Molina co-created an audio script based on these interviews. These recorded personal voices narrate the piece. Though the piece is primarily in Spanish, video art and supertitles make it accessible to English and Spanish speakers.
