Soñando Con Yurumein


Nawenedühaña Hamou Yurumeina / Soñando con Yurumein / Dreaming of Yurumein is a journey through the realities and dreams of the Garifuna community in New Orleans. Based on a site-specific performance given at the Music Box Village in 2022, Dreaming of Yurumein weaves together music, dance, and oral histories that tell the story of the Garifuna people’s exile from their ancestral home of Yurumein, and their centuries-long struggle against colonization and erasure. This project was co-directed by Pedro Guity, Mia Sanchas, and Jeremy Thal.
