Recuerdos Vivos New Mexico/Living Memories is a multimedia project that re-imagines encounters with the past – transforming oral histories and memories into vivid presentations through plays, radio, videos, and other mediums. Our first program was the play, When The Stars Trembled in Río Puerco, based on recuerdos/memories of viejitos of the Río Puerco valley, collected and edited by Nasario García, adapted and directed by Shebana Coelho. We're now working on a lyric documentary profile, Nasario García Remembers the Río Puerco
Project Update - December 2016

CELEBRATED FOLKLORIST NASARIO GARCÍA & THE RÍO PUERCO VILLAGES OF HIS YOUTH ARE THE SUBJECT OF A NEW DOCUMENTARY
Nasario remembers the Río Puerco is a documentary that follows celebrated folklorist Nasario García doing what he loves: wandering through landscape and memory amid the ghosts towns of New Mexico's Rio Puerco valley, reviving recuerdos of his youth when the ranching villages thrived and viejitos elders told stories beside a river that once ran. The film is directed by Shebana Coelho, who previously adapted Dr. García’s first book of oral histories into the stage play, When The Stars Trembled in Río Puerco, that was performed in Santa Fe and Albuquerque. Using interviews with Dr. García, oral histories, archival photos and footage of the landscape, this hour-long film evokes the stillness and vividness of a tactile past, one that the landscape and the ruins still remember. New Mexico PBS has expressed interest in broadcasting the film. From December 14 to January 31, the production is launching an outreach and crowdfunding campaign which invites audiences to support editing expenses for the film. The campaign will share a series of trailers, posters and video clips, interactive Share Your Recuerdos writings and discussions on social media, and distinctive perks for donating including a guided trip with Dr. García to villages of the Rio Puerco valley. Links to the the Indiegogo campaign and all multimedia will be posted on the film’s website, www.nasarioremembers.com and the Facebook page @NasarioRemembers. email nasarioremembers@gmail.com
