Talking Stick Festival Presents: Tlakentli
Event Information
Description
Tlakentli
In the heart of America, the language of the body fades a steep path. Between dance and theatre, two native Mexicans of Nahua and Mixtec descent share their quest for identity by drawing on their culture and the history of their ancestors. The duo sketches the paintings of their metamorphoses through the ages, revealing their tears and always keeping hope of finding themselves.
Languages and myths will guide this inevitable journey that redraws borders and makes skins coated by will or force. Unraveling what unites us, what pulls us away from the other and from ourselves, Tlakentli questions identity through migration and explores the myth of our original elegance.
