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.

LIMINAL ARCHIVE
July 14 - 17, 2021 at 7pm & 8pm New Ohio Theatre as part of Ice Factory Festival Liminal Archive is an immersive theatrical experience that guides audiences through intimate moments of isolation experienced by artists as they traverse the unknown during the early days of the pandemic. Liminal Archive began as an open-source platform, providing a cultural exchange where international artists could collaborate together during a lockdown and mass uprisings, and it has collected more than 40 artworks, including music, digital art and theater. Al Límite has curated these offerings into a 40-minute odyssey of live performances, projections and audio journeys where we venture through the past, the present, and find our way together into the future. |

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. |
