Event Description

THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELED

This performance contains strobe lighting and sexually suggestive costumes, gestures, and language.

This performance is presented mostly in Spanish, with some moments in English and German. English supertitles will be provided throughout the performance.

In a lush environment created through songs, video, and costumes, murdered Mixtec activist Alberta “Bety” Cariño goes on an imagined, psychedelic journey, where indigenous rights and speculative fictions wind together through the underworld.

What alternate futures can we imagine? What do they look and sound like? How does that dreaming shape how we deal with loss and violence in the past and the present, and our desire for change?
