Butchlalis de Panochtitlan is getting ready for back-to-back weekends in San Francisco. See our bulletin for info on seeing THE BARBER OF EAST LA!!!! view more
Butchlalis de Panochtitlan is a trio that has emerged from community based activist spaces to create visibility around politicized identities and the limitations in identity politics within a Los Angeles-centric context. They work to produce multi-dimensional language as a way that activates a new way of seeing their multi-layered, contradictory and celebratory selves in an often hostile world.
They have performed together since 2002. Their work began as sketch-based pieces focusing on recuperating queer narratives washed over by waves of gentrification, state and local terror and violence. Their work also touches on the humor and irreverence found in the everyday lives of gender minorities and outlaws living in the 20th and 21st century. Their first four shows all premiered at Highways Performance Space. They are: Teenage Papi: The Second Coming of Adolescence (2005); Teenage Papi: The Remix (2006); BdP Get U.G.L.Y (2007); and Dickwhipped! (2008)
Currently, the trio is workshopping the new full-length play titled The Barber of East L.A. thanks to a generous commission by the USC Visions and Voices humanities initiative. The Barber of East L.A. is a story about queer and punk Latinos living in Eastside neighborhoods—living as the neighborhood freaks in the threatening face of everyday annihilation. This mix of fictional characters with real events, political communities and identities that betray practice and desires about recovering memories about people and places designated as outsiders framed against a tumultuous period of the recent past, Reagan-era 1980s presents a multi-generational look at estrangement between family, community and institutions as well as multi-generational attempt at creating family, community and institutions. This project has enabled them to collaborate with acclaimed playwright, director and MacArthur Genius Fellow, Luis Alfaro and visual artist and activist, Hector Silva.
We explore identity and its consequence while mapping the city we live in on the brown female masculine bodies we walk in, as we perform ourselves, each other, imagined characters and caricatures.
Who I'd like to meet: homophiles, cool muthaphukkas, butches, dykes, FTM radicals, performance perverts, theatre thugs, scandalistas, homebois for hugging, trauma talkers and healers, recovering identity politicians, the indigenous chic, stoic trolls, and party starters, macho femmes and femme daddies, handsome bois, troublemakers and live artists...
Thanks for adding us, we appreciate it, join our perverted revolt and listen to our music! Our album 'syntactical makeover' has been soft released on Amazon.com and Kunaki.com and will be available worldwide on iTunes and in hardcopy July 2009. Peace and Rad Love--PT
