“The Caminos festival builds on Aluna Theatre’s TransAmerican vision of going across, through, and beyond borders. These artists, through their astounding creations-in-the-making, invite us to meet at the many intersections of our lives and embrace rebellious acts of vulnerability.”
– Beatriz Pizano
