鈥淪olFest has consistently served as a joyful gathering space and top-notch laboratory of what鈥檚 new and next in Latin茅 theater," Rosalba Rol贸n, Artistic Director of Pregones/PRTT, said in a statement. "This year, the weeklong festival coincides with National Hispanic Heritage Month, ushering in fall 2024 with a standout roster of seasoned and up-and-coming playwrights, performers, directors, and media makers. We are ever excited to collaborate with The Sol Project in making this ambitious programming a reality. I can鈥檛 wait to greet and meet and cheer with SolFest artists and audiences alike!鈥�
"SolFest is more than just a festival; it's a celebration of Latin茅 culture, a space for connection and an opportunity to experience the incredible new work being done by Latin茅 artists," added Adriana Gaviria, Co-Artistic Director of The Sol Project and producer of SolFest. 鈥淭his National Hispanic Heritage Month, we're thrilled to partner once again with Pregones/Puerto Rican Traveling Theater and North Star Projects to bring you an exciting festival week. This year's festival explores the interconnected themes of social support systems and resilience. We are excited to share with you new work from our first open submissions; a new segment New York Historias, a series of fact-based short works that recenter Latin茅 narratives in NYC inspired by a multi-year initiative of The Clemente and LxNY Latinx Arts Consortium of New York, and an evening spotlighting Latin茅 filmmakers, directors, artists and digital creators at the NSP Latin茅 ShortsFest which returns for its second year during SolFest week. Can't wait to see you at the festival!"
