About show!
Returning after three sold-out shows!
Pachuquísmo is a multi-disciplinary, rhythmic performance that unveils a forgotten history of Mexican-American female youth and explores the struggles that communities of color continue to face today.
Don’t miss the only chance to see Pachuquísmo this year in the Bay Area! Immediately following the SF performance, Pachuquísmo will make its New York City debut at the Lincoln Center!
Recipient of the Isadora Duncan Award for Outstanding Production, the work overlays tap dance with Mexican zapateado, features a live band that brings together Jazz with traditional Son Jarocho music from Veracruz, Mexico and explores the Chicanx experience through percussive conversations.
With the all-female cast donning full zoot suits, Pachuquísmo pulls the narrative of the Zoot Suit Riots out of the male-centered context and portrays the experiences of las pachucas of the 1940’s through movement, spoken word and video.
Supported by the New England Foundation for the Arts, Pachuquísmo completed an 8-city National tour, including performances at CaraMía Theater in Texas and Jacob’s Pillow in Massachusetts.
