CreArte Latino Cultural Center presents a new bilingual family performance, “Magic Show/Noche de Magia” on February 4 at 7:30 pm. Locally known as the “Great Comedian and Magician,” Einar Ibarra created and stars in the performance. Originally from Mexico, Ibarra attended a school for the arts and took classes in music and dance. He and his father sometimes performed as clowns together at events, dressing up and making people laugh. He became interested in magic as a teenager. “My neighbor was a magician; he would do the tricks for me and make me study them on my own,” says Ibarra. “He insisted that I figure them out for myself. And it was fun to learn and show my friends and family.” For Einar, magic and comedy go together and he’s looking forward making people laugh in CreArte Latino’s new theater. “The reason I do magic is to bring joy to the community.”

“Reaching out to children and families, to people of all ages, with a variety of events, is a vital part of our mission,” says Carolina Franco, president and artistic director of CreArte Latino Cultural Center. Programs have included classes in dance and acting for children, as well as book clubs and art workshops for families. “We are so happy to host a local artist in a bilingual performance accessible and entertaining for everyone.” CreArte Latino Cultural Center follows #SafeArtsSarasota Covid protocols. Tickets are $15.
