As the culmination of their residency at NYU's Espacio de Culturas, the Neighbors will share a staged reading of the final “At the Barricades” script. The piece, which has been in development since 2022, will gather its cast and creative team for a reading ahead of the full production in June at MITU580 in Brooklyn. The piece, a multilingual documentary theatre play about the international troops fighting in the Spanish Civil War, is written by WWTNS? Co-Artistic Directors James Clements and Sam Hood Adrain, helmed by director Federica Borlenghi and supported by script supervisor Skye Pallo Ross. The project, which has been recognised by the National Endowment for the Arts in the 2024 cycle, the New York State Council on the Arts, the Cultural Development Fund at DCLA and the Brooklyn Arts Council, was developed at Brooklyn Art Haus and through a residency at NYU's Espacio de Culturas. The reading will be followed by a reception at Espacio de Culturas.
