REMEMBER
EL ALMA

The women didn't fight at the Alamo, but they are the true heroines of that battle. They had to survive without husbands, fathers, sons, brothers, and lovers. What happened to them? How do women survive war?

"In this millenium, it's time for women to transform the Alamo into a monument to peace, a wailing wall, a place of truth-telling and reconciliation, if we are serious about ending war." -Barbara Renaud Gonzalez

Remember el Alma (Remember your Soul)...an on-site performance, directed by, written by, and performed by women, is produced by Kellen McIntyre, Exec. Director, Bihl Haus Arts, Directed by Virginia Grise, with original text by Barbara Renaud Gonzalez, video design by E.M. Gimenez.
