Arts at the Armory Spotlight Series Presents Welcome to Holland!? by Laura Sanchez

Sun. Jun. 29, 2025 at 12:30 pm - 3:00 pm

Join us for Laura Sanchez’ transformative 75-minute journey that beautifully intertwines flamenco, poetry, humor, and film, celebrating the incredible strength of caregivers.

Get tickets now!

Experience the story of an immigrant mother as she navigates her unique “Holland!?”—a landscape reshaped by trauma. Everyday objects transform into powerful symbols of hope, guiding her through challenges and illuminating the path to belonging. Welcome to Holland?! challenges stereotypes about motherhood and disability, shedding light on the diverse experiences of caregivers and non-traditional families.

Audiences are saying:

“I cried, smiled, laughed, and realized..the important things in life.”

“This is a MUST-see show. The world [has] to see this.”

Laura Sanchez is an award-winning flamenco artist, creator, choreographer, and educator originally from Cadiz, Spain. Welcome to Holland!? is part of the evolving AFTER DARK series, a living autobiographical work that Sanchez began in 2020 as a dance film about motherhood and mental health. She developed the film into a live performance with support from the Boston Center for the Arts and Boston Dance Alliance in 2022 residency at Mills Gallery.

Don’t miss this immersive theatrical experience that invites you to reflect, connect, and celebrate a world where we all belong. Join us for another stellar Spotlight Series offering that highlights are local and international communities.
