A Host of People, and the La Carpa Teen Ensemble, proudly presents ¡Brilla! El Despertar del Alebrije en Mi (Brilla! Glow! The Awakening of the Alebrijes in Me) an original, bilingual production inspired by the origin story of alebrijes, the mythical creatures imagined by Mexican artisan Pedro Linares. This playful and powerful performance will run from April 24-27, 2025, at The Senate Theater.

In ¡Brilla! Glow!, audiences are transported to 1930s Mexico City, where Pedro Linares, stricken with illness, falls into a fever dream that takes him into Prismatica, a world where alebrijes exist but remain divided by color and ideology. Believing that humans possess infinite wisdom, the creatures battle to claim Pedro as their own. Through his journey, Pedro reveals the struggles and contradictions of the human world, leading the alebrijes to discover that true wisdom lies not in dominance, but in unity, self-acceptance, and collaboration. This vibrant tale explores pressing themes such as race, global warming, and belonging, urging audiences to embrace their own brilliance and collective strength.

La Carpa Teen Ensemble has established itself as a vital space for Latiné youth in Detroit to tell their stories through theater. Last year, the ensemble debuted the world premiere of their original work Lost in Our Roots, their first production as an official program of A Host of People. Now, with ¡Brilla! Glow!, they continue to craft compelling narratives that honor cultural heritage while speaking to contemporary issues.

Karilú Alarcón Forshee, founder and director of La Carpa Teen Ensemble, said, “¡Brilla! El Despertar del Alebrije en Mi is the third show since we began this journey in 2021, and I could not feel more proud of the amazing team we have built. Today more than ever, the youth from the Latine community need a space where their voices can be heard through art and community. This play is about choosing light during difficult times and embracing resilience from a place of awe and love. Through comedy and imagination, we revisit history through a lens of color and creativity. I feel incredibly fortunate to work with the youth of Southwest Detroit—they continue to be great teachers, inspiring me to create and share a light that will hopefully spread broadly to better their futures and communities.”

Host of People, known for its commitment to innovative and socially impactful theater, has long provided a platform for local and emerging artists. As the company celebrates over 10 years of artful storytelling and community engagement, it continues to champion Detroit’s wealth of talent, creating productions that reflect the city’s diverse voices and artistic brilliance.

Sherrine Azab, AHOP Co-Director and Producer, said,”At A Host of People, we believe in the power of storytelling to build community and inspire change. Collaborating with the incredible young artists of La Carpa Teen Ensemble on ¡Brilla! Glow! has been a deeply rewarding experience. This production is a testament to the creativity, resilience, and brilliance of Latiné youth in Detroit, and we are honored to provide a space where their voices can shine. Detroit is home to an extraordinary wealth of talent, and we are thrilled to showcase the artistry of our city’s youth and local designers, performers, and visionaries. Through this vibrant and imaginative story, we invite audiences to reflect, celebrate, and embrace the magic of unity.”

A Host of People y el Grupo de Teatro Juvenil La Carpa, orgullosamente presentan ¡Brilla! El Despertar del Alebrije en Mi, una producción bilingüe y original inspirada por la historia de cómo surgieron los alebrijes, las criaturas míticas imaginadas por el cartonero Pedro Linares. Esta obra que es tan divertida como poderosa tendrá su corta temporada de Abril 24 al 27 de este año, en The Senate Theater.

En ¡Brilla! El público será transportado a los años treintas en la ciudad de México, donde Pedro Linares gravemente enfermo, tiene un sueño provocado por la fiebre que lo lleva hasta Prismática, un mundo donde existen Los alebrijes aunque divididos por su color e ideología. Con la creencia de que los humanos poseen una infinitamente sabiduría, estas criaturas se disputan a quien le pertenece el humano, Pedro Linares. En este trayecto Pedro revela los problemas y contradicciones en el mundo de los humanos, llevando a los alebrijes a descubrir que la verdadera sabiduría yace no en dominar sino en la unión, la aceptación personal y la colaboración. Este vibrante cuento explora temas cruciales como el racismo, el calentamiento global y el sentido de pertenencia incitando al público a abrazar su propio brillo y la fortaleza colectiva.

El Grupo de Teatro Juvenil La Carpa se ha establecido como un espacio vital para que los jóvenes Latine en Detroit compartan sus historias por medio del teatro. El año pasado, el grupo presentó la obra original Perdidos en Nuestras Raíces, su primer trabajo como un programa de A Host of People. Ahora, con ¡Brilla!, continúan el trabajo de crear narrativas imperiosas que honran la herencia cultural abordando problemáticas contemporáneas.

Karilú Alarcón Forshee, fundadora y directora del Grupo de Teatro Juvenil La Carpa, dijo, “¡Brilla! El Despertar del Alebrije en Mi es la tercera puesta en escena desde sus inicios en el año 2021, y no podría sentirme más orgullosa del increíble equipo que hemos formado. Hoy más que nunca, los jóvenes de la comunidad Latiné necesitan espacios donde sus voces puedan ser escuchadas por medio de arte y comunidad. La obra es sobre elegir la luz en medio de la dificultad y abrazar la resiliencia desde un lugar de asombro y amor. Por medio de comedia e imaginación, visitamos la historia por medio de un lente de color y creatividad. Me siento increíblemente afortunada de poder trabajar con los jóvenes de Southwest Detroit- ellos continúan siendo mis grandes maestros, me inspiran a crear y compartir luz que esperemos llegue lejos para mejorar sus futuros y comunidades.”

A Host of People, es conocido por su compromiso de teatro de innovación e impacto social, siempre proporcionando una plataforma para artistas emergentes y locales. Mientras la compañía celebra 10 años de contar historias artísticamente, continúa celebrando la fortuna de talento que existe en Detroit, cuando producciones que reflejan las voces diversas y artísticamente brillantes de la ciudad.

Sherrine Azab, Co Directora y Productora, dijo, “En A Host of People creemos en el poder de contar historias para incitar el cambio y crear comunidad. Colaborar con los increíbles jóvenes artistas de La Carpa en ¡Brilla! Ha sido una experiencia muy enriquecedora. Esta producción es un testamento de creatividad, resiliencia y brillantez de los jóvenes Latine en Detroit. Y nos honra poder proporcionar un espacio donde sus voces puedan brillar.

Sobre A Host of People

Celebrando 10 años, A Host of People es una compañía de teatro multi-racial que radica en Detroit. La compañía crea piezas de teatro originales para el cambio social que celebra la imaginación, la complejidad, y la síntesis de los elementos obviamente dispares —algunas veces épico e íntimo, político y personal, poético y disponible. AHOP existe para crear teatro estéticamente riguroso, intelectualmente desafiante, teatro que es cálido, de bienvenida que inspira a toda persona en general. Elegimos nuestros temas con cuidado con especial atención a las historias, temas y con alcance estético que emociona tanto a fanáticos del teatro, como a aquellos que tienen menos exposición a este arte. Así es como A Host of People mueve a su público: jugamos con la luz y la oscuridad; la cabeza y el corazón.
