Papel Machete presents a work-in-progress version of their Creative Capital Project, On the Eve of Abolition, at Cara Mia Theatre in Dallas for three days only. A multimedia performance, the work is set in the year 2047 in the transnational liberated territories of what used to be known as the US and Mexico, after a movement of abolitionists have created the conditions to end the prison-industrial complex.

Papel Machete’s On the Eve of Abolition is a recipient of the National Performance Network’s Creation Fund and is co-commissioned by Pregones/PRTT (Bronx, NY), Cara Mía Theatre (Dallas, TX), and Movimiento de Arte y Cultura Latino Americana (MACLA; San Jose, CA).
