2 PERFORMANCES ONLY!
Pachuquísmo portrays the female experiences of the 1940’s Zoot Suit Riot era through tap dance, Mexican zapateado, live Jazz music, traditional Son Jarocho (from Veracruz, Mexico), and video. With a 9-person, all-female cast donning full zoot suits, the performance challenges gender roles and pulls the narrative of the Zoot Suit Riots out of the male-centered context. A multi-disciplinary show, Pachuquísmo explores history, culture, and rhythm through the lens of the Mexican American pachucas that American society tried to eradicate.
Pachuquísmo’s artists respectfully request that audience members wear masks during the performance.
La Mezcla’s Pachuquísmo is funded in part by the New England Foundation for the Arts.
