IT'S HAPPENING!

11 years after we premiered the first iteration of AQUÍ O ALLÁ in Puerto Rico, we are about to premiere a whole new version of the show as the Winter Production for Actor Gymnasium.

What a gift to have our work produced at the Gym! For us...

✨ This is a FULL CIRCLE MOMENT! ✨

Storytime:
Raquel and Jean moved to Chicago in 2016 so Jean could complete the Professional Circus Training Program at the Actors Gym, and the last show we performed together in Puerto Rico WAS a first version of ¿Aquí o Allá?.

With so much learned and grown through, with an amazing team of collaborators and performers, and with a new story that expands on the themes of the original... La Vuelta Theatre Lab and Actors Gymnasium premiere this first version of the new version, true to our name (dándole vueltas al asunto; over and over)... and you don't wanna miss it!

Expect chaos. Expect clowns. Expect banging music. Expect breathtaking circus.

AQUÍ O ALLÁ runs 2/21-3/22! Do you have your tickets yet? 👀
