Theater, Music, Visual Arts, Immersive/Interactive Experience
Spanish language version!
The story, originally written for the stage by Veronica Mercedes Ponce De Leon & Francisco Javier Carbajal, follows the abridged life of a young Mexican punk rocker who seeks to find new opportunities across the Tijuana, Mexico border. Confusion and tragedy ensues which results in our protagonist being lost in the Mexicali desert. The cast is made up of members of the community that supports Ollin Yoliztlin Calmecac in their ultimate goal of proliferating Mexicayotl cultural programming throughout the greater Philadelphia area. This event will also feature a showing of the Documentary "¿Y nosotros que?" Which will play as people arrive, take their seats, and enjoy some of the free food that will be provided. This film similarly follows the story of immigrants in the city that have been faced with adversity and left behind by their governments in the wake of the pandemic.
