La Mezcla
Lincoln Center
65th Street & Broadway
New York, NY
Suggested Ages: All
Experience a moving, multimedia portrayal of the 1940s Californian Zoot Suit Riot era that challenges gender roles and recasts that turbulent moment outside of the typically male-centered context. Blending history, movement and artistry, social justice-minded, San Francisco-based dance theater ensemble La Mezcla steps beyond dance as a vehicle for representation and offers performance as an act of resistance, resilience and thriving growth. Founded in 2015, La Mezcla’s unique fusion of contemporary tap and Mexican zapateado, set to Son Jarocho and Afro-Caribbean rhythms, brings new life to underreported community experiences of Latinx citizenry.
Please note: This performance includes archival media images of violence associated with the Zoot Suit Riots of the 1940s.
