Welcome to the Miracle Theatre Group!Celebrating
25 years of Latino arts and culture in Portland But we’re talking more than pan dulce and piñatas for this anniversary party. Our next season is more like tequila shots with salt and a wedge of lime. Heady, gritty and fun stuff, from the clashing cultures of Mexico and Portland to the glamorous show biz of Peron’s Buenos Aires. Nuyoricans haunted by their past, Mapuche shamans uncertain of their future and California Chicanos suspended in the present … and of course those timeless muertos! At theMiracle, history and imagination collide in a miraculous season that is not for the faint of heart. The Miracle Theatre Group is committed to presenting works that exemplify the human experience through a culturally informed lens, latinidad. Founders José Eduardo González and Dañel Malán began Miracle’s Hispanic artistic programming from a desire to recreate and share the cultural vivacity of their origins. Although their experiences were rooted in Mexican heritage, their mission has always been to present works that express the multicultural Latino experience. Informed by Spanish and Latin American art and artists, Miracle's signature works celebrate the vibrancy of Latino aesthetic, blending movement, dance, and music with poetic language to create visually stunning and visceral theatrical experiences. Authenticity is a priority in the work presented by Miracle, insured by extensive research, consultation and collaboration with cultural experts, and tested against the personal experiences of artists and audience members. The Miracle is situated in the Pacific Northwest, an international region in which the Latino community has had both a long history and significant recent expansion. As such, the company is uniquely poised to create a new aesthetic, one that brings together diverse influences of indigenous, European, African, Asian, as well as that of mainstream US culture, in the creation of meaningful, joyful, illuminating art. Miracle is a proud member of Theatre Communications Group, National Association of Latino Arts and Culture, Metropoitan Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, Northwest Businesses for Culture and the Arts, the Portland Area Theatre Alliance, and Central Eastside Industrial Council
