Ep. 10: MERENDIANDO with Liliana Suarez Henao
May 4, 2019
Monica and Camila had the pleasure to talk with local theatre artist, Liliana Suarez Henao – who gave voice to Julia in our Spanish presentation of MADRE by Beatriz Pizano. In this final episode of our first season, we discuss Liliana’s experiences making theatre in Medellín, developing Spanish language theatre in Canada, and negotiating the roles of actor, audience, mother, and daughter, among many others.
