Dreams Have No Borders
TWO SHOWINGS AT THE VARSITY THEATRE
Saturday, June 22, 7:30-9:30 PM
Sunday, June 23, 3:00-5:00 PM
Varsity Theatre, 166 E Main St, Ashland
“Dreams Have No Borders,” a deeply moving opera-turned-film based on over a year of interviews, story collection, and immersion in the lives of Latino immigrants in the Rogue Valley, tells the timely story of a young mother’s harrowing journey to cross the border with her baby to find safety with her sister in the USA. Although the opera addresses the often harrowing, real-world challenges faced by asylum seekers—including cartel violence—the core of the story is the love between two sisters divided by a border, and the piece carries a hopeful, uplifting, and human tone.
Written by local creators Ethan Gans-Morse and Tiziana DellaRovere and produced by the local nonprofit Anima Mundi Productions, the film features three Grammy-winning singers, the Delgani String Quartet (called “the state’s finest chamber ensemble” by Oregon ArtsWatch), the Teokalli Aztec Dancers, stage direction by Valerie Rachelle (Oregon Cabaret), and film direction by 3-time Emmy award winning filmmaker Jan Thompson.
