Thurs Oct 10: featuring Tocani Music’s Cuando el Tecolote Danza
A multidisciplinary performance inspired by mythology and social Latin-American contexts.

Cuando el Tecolote Danza speaks about the symbolism of the owl and its connection with the underworld according to the ancient cultures of Mesoamerica. Through music, dance and costume, Tocani narrates a story based on the owl as a messenger, who announces the death of a farmer, and develops an interplay between death and the owl itself. The second part of the piece depicts the transition to a contemporary environment. The sounds of a chaotic urban landscape are interwoven with pre-hispanic rhythms, and the presence of vocalizations and sounds, convey a sense of the Mexican concrete jungle.

Creators / performers: Luis Rojas, Jesus Mora, Camilo Giraldo, Guillermo Lopez
