SUMMARY:The Malaga Ship Story
DESCRIPTION:On May 3rd\, join Better Said Than Done at the Historic Blenheim Center for Antonio Rocha’s performance of The Malaga Ship: A story of Maine and the Middle Passage. This event is free and open to the public. Suggested for ages 13+. Registration is not require\, but is recommended. \nRegister Here.\nThe Malaga was a 183 ton brig built in 1832\, in Brunswick Maine\, in a shipyard owned by Joseph Badger. The ship eventually found herself as part of the already Illegal transatlantic trade of African captives to the Americas\, especially Brazil. \nThe Malaga Ship Story is a tour de force performance.  Using his entire body and voice\, Antonio Rocha 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. \nAntonio Rocha (pronounced haw-sha)\, originally from Brazil\, began his career in the performing arts in 1985. In 1988 he received a Partners of the Americas grant to come to the USA to perform and deepen his mime skills with Mime Master Tony Montanaro. Mr. Rocha’s unique and award winning solo fusion of mime and storytelling with mesmerizing voices and sound effects has been performed from Singapore to South Africa and many places in between\, including 20 countries on 6 continents as well as in 44 US states. Some of the venues include The Singapore Festival of the Arts\, Wolf Trap\, The National Storytelling Festival\, The Kennedy Center\, The Smithsonian Institution\, The National Geographic\, The Tales of Graz in Austria\, Dunya Festival\, The Timpanogos Storytelling Festival\, Cave Run Storytelling Festival as well as thousands of school performances. \nA two time TEDx speaker\, Mr. Rocha is a proud recipient of the coveted Circle of Excellence Award by the National Storytelling Network\, and most recently the 2024 Maine Arts Commission Fellowship for the Performing Arts. \nThis event is part of the 2025 City of Fairfax Spotlight on the Arts Festival\, running April 25 – May4\, 2025. \nThis event is made possible by the generous support of the Fairfax City Commission on the Arts and Virginia Humanities. \n \n \n  \n  \n  \n“I saw the performance of the Malaga Ship: A Story of Maine and The Middle Passage  by Antonio Rocha at the National Storytelling Network Conference in Seattle\, WA in 2024. It took my breath away\, left me in tears\, and with a sense that I had traveled through time to witness the lifecycle of a slave ship. \nThis story teaches people about the Middle Passage in a unique and unforgettable way. Antonio brought the ship to life and showed the audience\, through the ship’s experience of transporting “cargo\,” how incredibly cruel and pervasive the slave industry was. Antonio also drew a line from what happened in the 1800s with his own life and with America today\, connecting the dots from the sugar industry\, the slave industry\, and racial inequity in America in 2024. By connecting these various points through history with his own personal experience\, he painted a vivid picture for anyone who might not understand how tragedies of the past influence the present. ” \nJessica Piscitelli Robinson \nExecutive Director\nBetter Said Than Done \n  \n
