Review: Vocal Migrations

Vocal Migrations totally represents the La MaMa experience, as far as I’m concerned. It’s a performance work unlike anything I’ve ever seen before, and it’s something you simply wouldn’t see at any other venue in New York. Presented in association with the government of the State of Veracruz, Mexico, this unique theatre piece is part travelogue, part meditation on translation and cultural differences, and part musical/dance celebration. It’s the ideal theatrical adventure with which to begin 2009.
