Bilingual Dinosaurs: A Live Reading
Saturday, January 24, 2026 • 7:00 PM
Boyd Vance Theatre, George Washington Carver Museum
Join us for a unique staged reading that blends science, storytelling, migration, and cultural memory through an unexpected lens: bilingual dinosaurs.
Created from interviews with Mexican-American professors, immigrant artists and writers, musicians, poets, and a UT paleontologist, Bilingual Dinosaurs brings together real voices in a playful, thoughtful exploration of identity, movement, and belonging—across millions of years and into our present moment. This docu-style performance weaves humor with heart, imagining what bilingual dinosaurs might say about migration, survival, language, and the world around them.
Rooted in Austin’s diverse community and inspired by traditions of Carpa theater and testimonial performance, the reading is part cultural conversation, part theatrical experiment, and part joyful celebration of bilingual storytelling.
This project is supported in part by the City of Austin Office of Arts, Culture, Music and Entertainment.
Admission is free and open to the public. Perfect for families, students, educators, and anyone who loves dinosaurs, culture, or imaginative community art.
