Is it possible to find meaning when life lead us down an unexpected path?
Welcome to Holland!? is a moving multidisciplinary performance that blends flamenco, spoken word, poetry, humor, and film. A danced monologue that invites audiences into a deeply human journey of discovering who you are within a reality you never chose.
The show follows the story of an immigrant mother navigating a life-altering situation after the birth of her second child. Rather than focusing on what was lost, the piece celebrates what emerges — resilience, creativity, connection, and the ability to find joy and gratitude in places we never imagined.
The performance will be followed by a book talk with Print: A Bookstore for Laura's autobiographical novel, "Tulip Skin," a true story of resilience told by a Spanish woman who emigrates to the United States chasing a dream and, after facing unexpected turns — including her daughter’s irreversible brain injury at birth — loses herself to the point of no longer knowing who she is.
Laura Sánchez's Welcome to Holland?! is co-presented with FLOR and Print: A Bookstore.
