Fandango For Butterflies
(and Coyotes)

An En Garde Arts Production
Directed by José Zayas
Written by Andrea Thome

On the eve of city-wide ICE raids, a group of immigrants gather in an undisclosed community center in NYC for a fandango. As fear encroaches — fear for family left behind in their home countries, fear for loved ones in the middle of their dangerous journey to New York, fear of leaving the sanctuary of the community center simply just get a bag of ice — a sense of camaraderie builds between the participants. Strangers become friends, friends become family, and the fandango plays on.

The performances will be in English and Spanish with supertitles, making it fully accessible to Spanish and English-speaking audiences.

Behind The Scenes at DARK STAR FROM HARLEM

All photos by Theo Cote

The Dark Star From Harlem: The Spectacular Rise of Josephine Baker begins performances on Thursday, November 21. The musical follows the journey of 19-year-old Josephine Baker, from her arrival in Paris in 1925, as a company member of La Revue Negre, to her rise to stardom in Europe. Josephine is cast as the comic dancer who crosses her eyes and can’t keep up, but before long , her talent as a singer and “exotic” dancer takes her to center stage and the launch of her career. As a young woman in a foreign land, she navigates sudden fame, a new language, racial acceptance in Paris and the violent Jim Crow laws back home in America.
