Being Made in Chicago: featuring Puerto Rican movement artist Amanda Raquel Martinez

Being Made in Chicago: featuring Puerto Rican movement artist Amanda Raquel Martinez The Physical Theater Festival Chicago

Coming back from her venture abroad, a depressed woman beyond the verge of a nervous breakdown seeks answers in her sadness and her senses, questioning the world around her in search of relief and through other, more colorful, worlds that she can escape to and find solace in. 


Through the use of clowning, movement, and song, this time, she embarks on a journey inward towards reclaiming pieces of herself and perhaps gathering some new pieces along the way. 

Amanda Raquel Martinez is a Puerto Rican interdisciplinary artist drawing from the realms of theatre, opera, yoga, songwriting, circus, and dance to create multifaceted work. Originally from the Bronx, she has made her home in Chicago's theatre scene over the last decade and is grateful to present some of her original work with Physical Theatre Festival!
