Brava Presents
The Long Walk Home – In Progress Showing

A Mayan Family’s Journey In Search of Refuge
A multimedia concert by David R Molina
Featuring La Familia Rodriguez

September 10th, 2023
Sunday at 6:00pm

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 2 years Molina conducted and recorded interviews with La Familia Rodriguez, 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. For this work in progress presentation these visual elements will be in their preliminary forms and with very limited supertitles.
