Poetry Marathon at Teatro de la Luna

This is the Teatro de la Luna (Theater of the Moon). It is a teeny, tiny hole in the wall near the Georgia Avenue metro station. They put on Spanish language plays.

Friday and Saturday they had a poetry marathon. We only managed to catch the last hour and a half or so. They had award-winning poets from all over the Spanish speaking world.

• Jose Acosta, Dominican Republic
• Roberto Arizmendi, Mexico
• Sergio Badilla Castillo, Chile
• Leon Felix Batista, Dominican Republic
• Noni Benegas, Argentina
• Iliana Godoy, Mexico
• Eduardo Mosches, Argentia
• Maria Angeles Perez Lopez, Spain

They also had open mike parts where audience members got up and read. Of course, the audience was mostly made up of people involved in the theater. It was a big, jovial family. Next year I'll be going and dragging some more people along with me.
