Healing ROOM TOURS

Citymeals, Musical Theatre Factory, Dementia Spring partnered to create Healing Room Tours, for the project “Mercedes” a multimedia art and community service project. Citymeals is hosting celebrations at older adult centers in all five boroughs, plus special meal deliveries. In each senior center we host dance workshops along with music from the Mercedes stage production in development by Musical Theatre Factory and performed live by Pedro Fortunato. We delivered meals and Pedro Fortunato delivers personal serenades to homebound older adults in the neighborhood. All the participants receive a care package at the end of the day with resources they may need and supplies to continue art making in their free time!

Life of the White Ant: A Stage Reading by Joey Weiss 

Life of the White Ant explores the concept of whiteness by following the life path of the termite. Beginning with the book “Life of the white ant,” by Maurice Maeterlinck,  three characters discuss, re-interpret, alter, and expand this text to examine the idea of whiteness through an unexpected and disorienting lens. Where does the termite live, what does it eat, and how does it build? We’ll answer these questions and more, and in so doing shed an unusual light on what it might mean to be white.

Joey Weiss is an artist living in New York with a background in painting and sculpture. His work involves presentations, performance, and lectures on various subjects. He’s worked with us in many projects and festivals and we are excited to produce his project this year, Life of the White Ant.

Life of the White Ant is written by Joey Weiss, co-directed by Modesto Flako Jimenez and Joey Weiss, and is being produced by ¡OYE! Group.

Artist residency starting in March through May. Stay tuned for more info on the reading on May 30, 2025.
