Galvin Fine Arts - Performing Art Series
Coyolxauhqui ReMembers Latina Dance Project
Friday, Feb. 1, 7:30 p.m.
Galvin Fine Arts Center, Allaert Auditorium
Coyolxauhqui (coil-sh-owe-key) ReMembers is an exciting piece of theater that blends contemporary, Aztec, samba and aerial dance with original music and text to re-interpret the Aztec myth of the Moon Goddess Coyolxauhqui. This exciting work draws on parallels between her story and stories that serve as an awakening to the condition of contemporary women. The Latina Dance project has cast the myth of the Moon Goddess and her brother, the war God, from the feminist perspective through four stories: Coyolxauhqui as a young woman whose dreams haunt her; a Brazilian professional woman who battles the voice of self-empowerment; an immigrant who reassembles herself through plastic surgery and fashion; and a young Mexican maquilladora (factory) worker who meets her fate in Juárez, where more than 300 women have been murdered over the last ten years.
