WORLD PREMIERE with the Chicago Latino Theater Alliance's DESTINOS, 9th Chicago International Latino Theater Festival
Description:
No, f'real: Why are vampires always European and listening to bad techno in movies?
Vampire Playlist counters cliché and asks what if undead bloodsuckers were Latino? What songs would they listen to?
Those queries are answered in Concrete Content's latest production, Vampire Playlist, a 75-minute piece immersive theatrical experience that mixes cultural memory, movement, and music in a site-specific play in El Shomburg. Lose yourself in this dark, brown, bloody, and biting theatrical experience.

About Concrete Content:
Concrete Content brings radical aesthetics, politics and culture to Chicago with site specific theatrical experiences.
Co-founded by Katrina Dion, Ricardo Gamboa, and Sean James William Parris in 2022, Concrete Content has quickly made a reputation for producing Chicago's most innovative and socially charged theater. Each of their productions to date -- The Wizards, Ruth on the Rocks, The Pillowman and No Trailer -- have sold their runs and multiple extensions.
Concrete Content is an autonomous organization and not part of the non-profit industrial complex. Instead, Concrete Content explores how theater can exist independently, driven and supported by community, and constitute a form of mutual aid in trying times.
Ticket Policy: Concrete Content creates intimate theater. Our shows generally seat less than 50 people per performance. Our company is funded almost exclusively on monies from ticket reservations. These funds cover production costs and pay our cast and crew. As a result, we cannot refund or change ticket reservations within a 48 hours of a performance.
