The Magic of the Every-day, with Luis Alberto Urrea

Cirque du Sound

Open your eyes to magic, and you will find it all around you. A conversation featuring award-winning and best selling Mexican-American author and journalist Luis Alberto Urrea (Goodnight Irene, The Hummingbird's Daughter, The Devil’s Highway) in conversation with Michel Laprise about the inspiration to be found in adopting the lens of magical realism, ghosts, and miracles - and by looking at life in all its subltley, chaos, and splendor. Together they explore the infinite possibilites of a blank page and the things we might find in the world if we only had the eyes to see. Following themes from LUZIA, a Cirque du Soleil show filled with light, rain, and the culture of Mexico.
