Al Límite Collective was established in January of 2020, right before COVID-19 turned into a pandemic. As it ravaged the world, it did not discourage us. A year has passed and we have grieved with our friends and families for all the losses we experienced together. We look back on the year, and it reminds us of the perseverance and resilience that keep us moving forward. Al Límite Collective wants to share with you the work we have done for the past year so that we can envision a future that is stronger and better through the arts.

BROOKLYN IS NOT A SACRIFICE ZONE
In collaboration with the movement against the North Brooklyn pipeline, theater collective, Al Límite, chooses to fight back with creative resistance. Each performer lives along National Grid's fracked gas pipeline path and understand what's at stake. This is a series of devised pieces set safely and physically distanced outdoors in each neighborhood along the route: Brownsville, Bed-Stuy, Bushwick, Williamsburg, and ending in Greenpoint. |

Quiet Us/ Riot Us
In New York City’s coldest month of the year, we will perform an illuminated outdoor performance of a ritual for collective grief, safely distanced in the streets and rooftops. In these unprecedented times of isolation, economic suffering and racial justice uprisings, we are feeling called as cultural workers to bring open-facing, public rituals to hold space for grief and healing while developing new traditions and mythologies for this process. As an international collective, with members from Iran, India, Mexico, Taiwan and the US, we bring story elements from our own traditions and cultures into an amalgam to create this new myth about mourning, writ large with illuminated puppets into an outdoor spectacle. |
