Teatro ECAS presenta las vivencias de un sector de la población Latinx en Rhode Island y con actores de ECAS que llevan a escena las disparidades raciales por causa del Coronavirus el cual atacó en forma desproporcionada a los hispanos en Estados Unidos y ocupando el mayor índice de la población infectada por el COVID-19.
Disproportionate Impact
Written and directed by Francis Parra
In April 2020, 45% of the cases of COVID-19 in Rhode Island were Latinx. The demographics show that only 13% of the population is Latinx. Why this discrepancy? Teatro ECAS presents a documentary play based on interviews conducted with front line healthcare workers and Latinx essential workers. Due to lack of health insurance or indefinite immigration status, vulnerable people lost their lives in silence, solitude and bitterness during the pandemic.
Impacto Desproporcionado (Disproportionate Impact) is possible with funding by the New England Foundation for the Arts’ New Work New England program, from the National Endowment for the Arts, A Seedlings Foundation, the Fund for the Arts at NEFA, the Rhode Island Council for the Humanities, The Rhode Island Foundation Community grants and individual donors.
