About The Event

'LOVO' places a view on the conservation and protection of biodiversity, analyzing the process of disappearance of an animal species as if it were the extinction of a love. It proposes a vision on the consequences of the destruction that the human being generates in the Nature, the changes that take place in the habitats that it shares with other animals and that also demonstrate the vulnerability and fragility of the human life. We dive into the bowels of another living being as if we were doing it in his own soul, in a biography, or in the deepest and darkest of the heart.

Three documentary filmmakers on stage tell how they found poisoned the last wolf in Sierra Morena. The animal will wage a battle inside: a toxic that spreads through the body. 'LOVO' is also a story of microscopic and cellular love, a flight without return which threatens the survival of the animal. Another endangered species on the verge of extinction that faces our responsibility within the ecosystem that shelters us. Can love reverse the fatal fate that threatens the characters? How would the habitat itself react to an annihilating threat?

About The Organizer

Founded in 1961 by Ellen Stewart, La MaMa is a home for artists of all identities, races, ages, and cultures. At La MaMa, artists are provided the space, support, and creative freedom to explore new forms of expression and to make new work. La MaMa builds audiences that are integral to the creative process. Our local and global community members who gather in our physical, digital, and hybrid spaces to see new work, are often the first audience for that work. The audience response helps to shape the evolution of the piece for the artist, and is an essential part of the creative ecosystem that La MaMa nurtures. La MaMa believes art is a force for change. Violence, discrimination, and systemic racism will not stop without a unified resistance. La MaMa is committed to battling bigotry and intolerance in all its forms, and to providing inclusive spaces for our local, national, and global community.

Please Note

The La MaMa Puppet Festival showcases new contemporary puppet theatre by artists from around the world. Curated by Denise Greber, focusing on diversifying the voices, stories, and perspectives shared onstage, with the goal of uplifting marginalized identities within the puppet community.
