Where Did We Sit on the Bus? is an electric one-man show pulsing with Latin rhythms, rap, hip-hop, spoken word, and live looping.
During a third grade lesson on the Civil Rights movement and Rosa Parks, a Latino boy raises his hand to ask, “Where did we sit on the bus?” and his teacher can’t answer the question.
This thrilling autobiographical production from Jeff Award-winner Brian Quijada examines what it means to be Latino through the eyes of a child, turned teenager, turned adult.
This performance was shot by Bitter Jester Studios over the course of a night at the Victory Gardens Theater in Chicago, IL. I was hired on as a camera operator for the night and was happy as alway to work with both Daniel and Nicolas. Brian appeared in both of my past projects – BUNNY and Heaven is Hell, so it was nice to see him again as well.
