Mauro Institute for Peace & Justice is pleased to present the Canadian premiere of: Antonio Rocha's The Malaga Ship: A Story of Maine and the Middle PassageThroughout this wrenching and sublime performance, Antonio Rocha transforms himself into a vessel, holding with care and courage both the unfathomable suffering and the resilience of the five million Africans who were torn from their homelands and forced into slavery in Brazil, due in part to the actions of New Englanders.The Malaga Ship Story is a tour de force performance. Using his entire body and voice, Antonio sings, narrates, and mimes his way through this poetically toned historical tale told mostly from the perspective of the ship. The story vividly explores the reality and impact of the slave industry, which was the largest industry in the world in the 1800s. The story also has a deep connection to the performer, for Malaga goes to Rio de Janeiro - Brazil in 1845, where Antonio was raised in a biracial household over a century later."I could not believe the coincidences between the ship and myself She was built in Maine and went to Brazil to bring to my home country part of my ancestry. I was born in Brazil and came to Maine where I learn to be a storyteller. The more I read about Malaga, the more I realized I was born to tell her story."- Antonio RochaThe performance is 45 minutes and due to the impactful nature of the presentation, it is followed by a discussion session wherein the the audience can ask question's about the Middle Passage, and how the performance was designed.The Malaga Ship performance will be preceeded by stories offered by two local storytellers - Jamie Oliviero and Leigh-Anne Kehler.Join us for a world class evening of Storytelling! - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/winnipeg/the-malaga-ship-a-story-of-maine-and-the-middle-passage/100001297281236099 - **Event Categories**: festivals, storytelling, performances, workshops, entertainment - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Winnipeg - **state**: MB - **country**: Canada - **location**: The University of Winnipeg - **lat**: 49.891786 - **long**: -97.15355600000001 - **full address**: The University of Winnipeg, 515 Portage Avenue, Winnipeg, Canada ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: The Malaga Ship: A Story of Maine and the Middle Passage - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/7abbc5b502421093fca56135be00d0360a8e4d11a5818da4aaf9d33a9b544372-rimg-w1200-h600-dc030302-gmir.jpg?v=1745283962 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is The Malaga Ship: A Story of Maine and the Middle Passage being held? - **A:** The Malaga Ship: A Story of Maine and the Middle Passage takes place on Fri, 09 May, 2025 at 07:00 pm to Fri, 09 May, 2025 at 08:45 pm at The University of Winnipeg, 515 Portage Avenue, Winnipeg, Canada. - **Q**: Who is organizing The Malaga Ship: A Story of Maine and the Middle Passage? - **A:** The Malaga Ship: A Story of Maine and the Middle Passage is organized by Arthur V.
