Sucúa Haven

(work in progress)

Sucúa Haven is a collaborative project that inhabits the border between Anthropology and Art, between Ecuador and the U.S., and between fiction and non-fiction. It was made thanks to the Mellon Artist and Practitioner Fellowship of Yale RITM. 

Inspired by Jean Rouch's ethnofictions and Augusto Boal's theater, Sucúa Haven presents a series of short stories, staged and documentary photographs, videos, and audio pieces based on the experiences, memories, dreams, and alternative lives of a community primarily composed of Ecuadorians in Greater New Haven. Together, these elements form a portrait of this transnational territory.

Sucúa Haven- Storytime is a 60min performance of a storytelling session with projections.
