Each year, Trinity University’s Madrid Lecture and the Madrid Fund for Latin@ Artists present a lecture that celebrates and promotes the work and creations of Latinx artists, and the latest installment will feature El Paso-born alum Octavio Solis, the school’s current artist-in-residence.
As author of more than 20 plays, Solis is one of the most prolific Latinx playwrights working in the United States today. In his lecture “Memory: My Faulty Muse,” scheduled for this Monday, Solis will consider memory in relation to art, love, identity and his mother’s Alzheimer’s diagnosis.
He’ll also discuss his own fears of inheriting the disease. Solis is a deep, thoughtful artist whose plays are often mysterious and profound, suggesting his lecture is likely to be a rewarding and illuminating experience. Additionally, he’ll detail plans to stage his latest play, In the Clearing, in early April in collaboration with Trinity students.
Free, 6-7:30 p.m. Monday, March 31, Trinity University, Skyline Room at Coates Student Center, One Trinity Place, (210) 999-8170, trinity.edu.
