AMERICAN THEATRE: “In any performance we create, we’re calling into existence things that existed already.” Raquel Torre invokes numerous references as we speak about the theatricality of February’s “Benito Bowl,” when Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio (Bad Bunny) dramaturged Boricua resilience and the history of Latine migrant music through his 13-minute Super Bowl halftime performance at Santa Clara, California’s Levi’s Stadium. For those 13 minutes, Latin American folks and allies around the world gathered in parties, on street corners, and in green rooms to experience the moving moment.
