About the Event

This two-part program brings together music, poetry, and performance for an evening of boundary-crossing storytelling. In Act One, improviser Wilfrido Terrazas and poet Ronnie Yates explore the liminal space where their disciplines meet—Terrazas’s music shaped by the Mexico City poetry scene, Yates’s poetry by Houston’s improvised music world. The duo’s first-ever live collaboration promises an adventurous dialogue of words and sound.

Act Two presents The Mexican Husband (2019) by Fabiola Carranza, a bilingual reimagining of Bertolt Brecht’s The Jewish Wife set in contemporary Los Angeles. The play follows a couple’s final night together before the husband flees across the border to avoid deportation—an unflinching, poetic meditation on immigration, separation, and resilience in the face of systemic injustice.
