Join St. Luke’s at 7 p.m. on June 10 in the Cathedral Nave with Portland Ovations to see artist Antonio Rocha in his performance of “A Slave Ship Called Malaga.”
Portland Ovations describes Rocha’s work as the following: “The Malaga Ship Story is a tour de force performance by award-winning, and world-renowned storyteller Antonio Rocha. Using his entire body and voice, Antonio sings, dances, narrates, and mimes his way through this poetically toned historical tale told from the perspective of the ship. The story vividly explores the reality and impact of the slave trade then and now through Antonio’s relationships to Maine and Brazil. Each performance is followed by a moderated conversation with a facilitator.”
