Loyola student to perform in Crime Scene: Breathe Life

Loyola student to perform in Crime Scene: Breathe Life

Come see Loyola student Molly Hernandez in Crime Scene: Breathe Life, performed by the Collaboraction Theatre Company. This weekend is the show’s closing weekend, with performances on Thursday and Friday at Loyola Park at 7:00 pm.

Crime Scene: Breathe Life is a social justice piece about violence in the city. The show viscerally re-examines Chicago’s history of violent crime, while sharing five intimate portraits of real Chicagoans who have used their first-hand experiences with violence to become peacemakers and be a positive impact in the lives of others. Ultimately, Crime Scene: Breathe Life asks Chicago residents “what do you see?” when it comes to the city’s current crime epidemic, and challenges Chicagoans to discover new ways to work together to create lasting change.

Performances this week are on Thursday and Friday evening at 7:00 pm at Loyola Park. It is a free show and is open to all. Breathe Life Friday night shows will be preceded by a special youth afternoon workshop called Crime Scene: The Next Generation. Also on Fridays, starting at 5 p.m., Collaboraction will present their signature Dome of Dance battle-dance tournament with DJ Shon Roka and a FREE Community Meal sponsored by Connie’s Pizza – a full spread – for 250 people.

After each show, there will be a short discussion about the show with an opportunity for people in the audience to share their personal stories.
