Rudi Goblen: FITO

An interactive concert-play and love letter to immigrants who dream relentlessly

On the day of his naturalization ceremony, Fito goes on a journey through musical snapshots of his life—moments filled with longing, resilience, and joy that reflect the complexities of identity shaped by migration.

Rudi Goblen’s interactive concert play FITO combines live music, storytelling, dance, and spoken word to explore the immigrant experience of a Nicaraguan man living in the United States. Inviting audiences into a communal experience to foster connection and empathy, this production asks what it means to become an American while holding onto one’s roots.

At its heart, FITO is a love letter to immigrants who dream relentlessly despite the obstacles they face, as well as a call to recognize theater as a space for everyone.
