You’re invited to experience the journey of Salvador, a frazzled inventor, who creates an apparatus to preserve his most beloved memories and maybe, just maybe, face the realities of the darker ones. With courage and foolishness, Salvador will walk you through his days of chaos, memories, and wonder. Memorabilia is a solo-show using old boleros, clown, acrobatics, juggling, dance, and theatre to tell a story with humour and heart. Memorabilia was created and is performed by renowned Chicago-based Boricua performer Jean Claudio, described by the Chicago Tribune as an "excellent circus-skilled performer" who is "funny, charming and the most poignant presence". Jean was recently seen in the title role of Chicago Shakespeare Theater's Corduroy, the Goodman Theatre's LUCHA TEOTL and The Lizard y El Sol, and Teatro Vista Productions’ The Dream King. Helming the creative process as its director is co-creator Raquel Torre, who is Claudio’s partner in artistry and in life as well as the Michael Maggio Directing Fellow at the Goodman Theatre.
