LASOS, is a new work of film and live performance exploring the hidden links between childhood trauma and chronic pain within the context of Latin American culture and traditions.

Conceived and directed by Jocelyn Reyes, LASOS mines the artist’s personal story of recovery from debilitating pain. LASOS explores the journey Reyes made in the year that followed the onset of debilitating pain, uncovering the hidden ties between her childhood experience of abuse and her present-day affliction. With LASOS, Reyes aims to show that it’s possible to break the cycle of suffering just as it’s possible to break the cycle of violence.
