Arte*es*Ana (Art*is*Ann) is a highly rhythmical, stirring dance-poetry presentation of a poem Maria Mar wrote as an homage for an old seamstress. Doña Ana, long time resident of the Lower East Side, had carpal tunnel syndrome as a result of the many years working as a seamstress. She reminded Maria of her grandma, also a Puerto Rican seamstress.
Arte*es*Ana captures the experiences of immigrant Puerto Rican women who came to the USA and found work in the infamous sweat shops. It also depicts the heroic struggle of all immigrant women workers to sustain their families in a strange, new country.
as part of the rich historical and popular references to the Puerto Rican and Latino culture.
