Kweli Journal and Ballet Hispánico present Sing the Truth, an evening of readings, music, dance narratives and conversation on memory and inheritance. The evening features readings by Pulitzer Prize finalist Ingrid Rojas Contreras whose memoir THE MAN WHO COULD MOVE CLOUDS “interweaves family stories more enchanting than those in any novel, resurrected Colombian history, and her own deeply personal reckonings with the bounds of reality.” The audience will be transported to Colombia via the words, music and dance of the extraordinary artists who will grace Ballet Hispánico's stage. The original dance segment choreographed and performed by Ballet Hispánico's own Rodney Hamilton and Mia Bermudez will leave you breathless.

This program concludes with a conversation between Ingrid Rojas Contreras and Maria Alejandra Barrios, a 2018 Kweli Fellow. Her book, THE WAVES TAKE YOU HOME is forthcoming from Lake Union Publishing (2024).
