Nuestro Planeta: COLOMBIA:
LUZMI
Written by Diana Burbano
Devised & directed by Elisa Bocanegra
LUZMI cast from the 2024 LA production.
Based on two and a half years of research with Fulbright Colombia and Colombia's Instituto Humboldt, Luzmi educates audiences about the rich biodiversity of Colombia and the environmental injustices indigenous communities in the Amazon rainforest face.
"The play walks the fine line between entertainment
and education with confidence and clarity."
- Guy Picot, Gia On The Move
"So much is at stake right now in this part of the Amazon rainforest and I believe
that the play captures it well."
- Jim Gilles, The Hollywood Times
"'Luzmi’ illuminates the environmental crisis in Latin America."
- Eric A. Gordon, People's World
"Director (and devisor) Elisa Bocanegra keeps the story moving forward
with pace and tension, while making room for some lovely stage pictures."
- Guy Picot, Gia On The Move
