HOLA Member Bochinche

Bochinche refers to “gossip”. In this sense, we use it to mention HOLA members or Friends of HOLA who are getting acting, performance or similarly artistic gigs and/or recognition in the media. The names of HOLA members and Friends of HOLA are listed below in boldface. To see what other HOLA members are doing currently, click here.

Claudio Weisz, shown at right, was featured in the New York weekly newspaper El Especial, as a result of his starring role in the Corezón production of Julio Ramón Ribeyro's El uso de la palabra. Directed by Diego Chiri and produced by Pablo Andrade, Yessi Hernández and Chiri, the two-hander also stars Javier Figuera and will be presented as part of the second season of Teatro SEA's Micro Teatro New York festival, which will run February through April at Teatro SEA's namesake theater in The Clemente Soto Vélez Cultural and Educational Center (home to HOLA) in Manhattan's Loísaida neighborhood.

Manuel A. Morán, Indra Palomo, and Omar Peláez, shown clockwise from left, were featured in the Héctor Luis Sin Censura blog (edited by Héctor Luis Rivera) as a result of their participation in the new production from Teatro SEA. Titled La verdadera historia de Caperucita/The True Story of Little Red, it is written, directed and produced by Morán (with original music by Iván Alexander Bautista), features the acting talents of Palomo and Peláez, among others. The production will take place in March and April at Teatro SEA's namesake theater in The Clemente Soto Vélez Cultural and Educational Center (home to HOLA) in Manhattan's Loísaida neighborhood. To read the blog, which is in Spanish, click here.

Elizardi Castro appeared with Emeline Ramos (shown right to left, in the photo at right) in the HOLAciudad! Orlando blog where his comedy video titled "Tubo de pasta de dientes– ¿Por el medio o por debajo?" about the classic conundrum regarding which way to squeeze toothpaste out of a tube (from the middle or the front).

Marco Antonio Rodríguez and Dalia Davi were interviewed by former HOLA honoree Lynda Baquero for the NBC New York program "Visiones", where they spoke about the production of En el nombre de Salomé (adapted by Rodríguez from the Julia Álvarez novel, directed by José Zayas, and which co-stars Jesús E. Martínez, Johary Ramos, and Jerry Soto), currently running at the Repertorio Español in the Rose Hill neighborhood of Manhattan. To see the interview, click here or on the video below.
