CANOA (Caribbean and New Orleanian Arts) is an artist-led initiative and project space located in the Upper 9th Ward of New Orleans. CANOA is also a resource center, a gathering place, a workshop space, and a lecture and performance venue.
CANOA supports arts practitioners from the local Caribbean diaspora and facilitates exchanges among New Orleanian and Caribbean artists and community members to foster new cultural and artistic connections between New Orleans and the wider Caribbean, both locally and internationally. Born from the recognition that New Orleans is in fact a Caribbean city, CANOA brings New Orleanian and Caribbean artists and culture workers together in solidarity around our mutual histories and cultural practices.

Carlota is a tormenta.
Carlota is a fantasma.
Carlota is a grandmother, a revolutionary, a healer, and a bad ass. She stabbed a Spanish colonel (maybe), survived a flood, crisscrossed Cuba, abandoned her son (no she didn't), played the lotto, saved lives, survived enslavement and laughed when she wanted. Carlota tells the story of the extraordinary life and legacy of Carlota Ruíz de González, a fictional character rooted in Cuban and New Orleans history.
Carlota is performed in both English and Spanish. There are supertitles for both langauges througout.
