Por La Ventana
One-woman performance
Featuring Jennie Lyn Hamilton

Marfa Live Arts Director Jennie Lyn Hamilton will present “Por La Ventana”, a multi-media piece exploring ancestral connections through the lens of the Mexican Revolution.

Your ticket is a donation to La Biblioteca, get it here.

Por La Ventana is a one-woman performance featuring Jennie Lyn Hamilton, set against the visual backdrop of a black-and-white film which runs the show’s length. The film is composed of royalty-free and public domain footage from the late 1800’s and early 1900’s, creating a moving historical canvas for the story.

At its heart, Por La Ventana is an exploration of connection – an intimate search for meaning, purpose and family ties that stretches from the present day back to the era of the Mexican Revolution. The narrative weaves together Francisco Madero’s fascination with Spiritism – his belief in communing with spirits for guidance as he stepped into his role leading Mexico into the 1910 Revolution – with Hamilton’s own family history.
