LOS ENCORES - Memories of a Penitent Heart - presented by PHLAFF & Casa de Duende
Twenty-five years after Miguel died from AIDS, his niece, filmmaker Cecilia Aldarondo, embarks on an excavation into a quagmire of unresolved family drama. Like many gay men in the 1980s, Miguel moved from Puerto Rico to New York City; he found a career in theater and a rewarding relationship. Yet, on his deathbed, he grappled to reconcile his homosexuality with his Catholic upbringing. Now, decades after his death, Cecilia locates Miguel’s lover Robert, who has been shunned and demonized by the family, in order to understand the whole story.
7:00PM
The presentation is a part of the community engagement for the Conversaciones con Manuel exhibition at Da Vinci Art Alliance at 704 Catharine Street curated by David Acosta.
