About show:
Huellas is an Afro-Peruvian dance theater performance inspired by the ancestral dance Son de los Diablos.
We will share a story of decolonization, resistance and of connecting to ancestral memory.
Huellas centers around Afro-Peruvian rhythms and dances to bring visibility to the African Diaspora in Latinx communities.
Our project highlights the importance, history, existence, and cultural contributions of people of African ancestry in Peru as a way to reclaim and remember a history that is often invisibilized.
Co-created and performed by Carmen Roman and Pierr Padilla Vasquez
Musicians: Kyla Danysh, Holly Shogbesan and Randella Jones
Sound tech: Hatuey Hernandez
This project is made possible in part with the support of Kenneth Rainin Foundation, CA$H Grant and Alliance for California Traditional Arts. Fiscally Sponsored by CubaCaribe.
