In MYTH, Broken Box Mime Theater transports us to a foreign planet with two moons. Cue the alien flora and fauna! It is here, in a seemingly idyllic village among the extraterrestrial jungles, that a pair of unlikely lovers make a life-changing discovery.
This performance of MYTH is dedicated to individuals who do not speak English or for whom English may be a second or third language! If this is you, use code MYTHGLOBAL to receive $7 off!
This performance is open to everyone, whether or not you identify as part of this community. The show will be followed by our With Words series, which features a leader in their field in conversation with our cast. Global Night will host Juan Ospina!
This is BKBX's first full-length Mainstage debut.
Sept 18th - Oct 25th at JACK, Clinton Hill, Brooklyn
Juan Ospina
Also known as Pulpo de Oro, is a Colombian-born, New York-based multi-instrumentalist, composer, producer, teaching artist, and cultural organizer. A musician since the age of nine, he has created, co-led, or collaborated on projects including MAKU SoundSystem, Bulla en el Barrio, KUYE, Dilemastronauta, Son Bullerengue, blending original music with the Afro-Indigenous traditions of Colombia’s Caribbean coast.
As the founder of Rueda de Oro, Juan creates free, intergenerational gatherings, workshops, and cultural exchanges that use music, dance, and collective practice to foster belonging, healing, and cultural affirmation among New York’s diverse communities. He also teaches music in public schools across New York City, connecting young people with music, history, and self-expression.
His work is deeply shaped by his experience as an immigrant, his commitment to justice, and his belief in the transformative power of culture to bring people together.
