SUMMARY:Palabra Pura: Want
DESCRIPTION:Curated by Cyn Vargas\, the theme of this month’s Palabra Pura is Want. Cyn writes\, “Want. It could be a person\, thing\, words we long to hear\, a new place. Want is at the core of what we do and say. It drives us or it stuns us. The stories this night will be about narrators wanting something or someone and what they do to try and get it. What happens if they don’t? What happens if they do? We’ve all been there\, so come join us for a night of fictional stories where the want is very real.” \n  \nAbout the Artists\nBobby Biedrzycki is a writer\, performer\, educator\, and transnational human rights activist who resides in Chicago\, IL.
