Tortas y Tacones is…..
(IF YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW)
Love and Chaos
Love in Chaos
Life in Constant Love
Space aliens squeeze into made-in-Taiwan cha-cha heels. Astral algorithms rooted in pigeon peas..
Convergence, divergence. Anything goes in a Tortas experience.
(FOR STARTERS THE NAME COULD MEAN ‘SANWICHES AND HIGH HEELS’ IF YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW)
Dirty jokes, tits and ass, and rocking mother fuckin’ riffs of wailing guitars and crashing cymbals. John Coltrane (Trane) An undergrowth of rhythm (like the hairs of a pubis) and the spark of inspiration (a lick of fire) that can happen suddenly…
at any moment.
Tortas y Tacones is gueril la theater. (Tortas y Tacones ain’t SHIT!) Tortas y Tacones is sublime truth borne of a sweaty moment. (Tortas y Tacones is a FRAUD)
Maya Angelou is a TORTA (Maya Angelou is a WHORE)
When you dig your stiletto heel into the crook of my neck (a lie)
When your orange sugar candy melts on the porcelain surface ( a lie)
When gravity explodes with a mad shake of your synthetic hair (a lie)
It all comes down.
Down down down.
Like Carol Wayne, Barbie Benton, Steve McQueen, Candy Darling.
(IF YOUR REALLY WANT TO KNOW)
The ensemble taunts and plays with pedestrian crowds in loosely scripted story lines or sparsely choreographed numbers.
(Johnny Cash meets Solid Gold)
Gender bending acrobatics!!
Elastic definitions.
Thwarted conclusions.
(LIES)
The screech of eternity defies all boundaries.
There is no holding back this mass of cells,
This breathing apparatus irretrievably linked to the nether regions
–the soul – the vagina – of the Universe.
(like Sun Ra) Sun Ra
Sun Ra
Tortas y Tacones is everybody you know including you. We make powerful noise in convergence with the perpetually young lords of chaos.
(IF YOUR REALLY WANT TO KNOW THIS JUST IN FROM OUR MARKETING DEPARTMENT)
Part stand up comedy, part drag show, part jackass stunt, Tortas y Tacones creates poetry out of a given moment. (Tortas y Tacones makes SHIT!) Decidedly low-tech, the show subverts ideas about performance with a dangerously valiant, unrehearsed spectacle.
Like love, an unrehearsed spectacle.
Like war, an unrehearsed spectacle.
Like creation, a night at the Improv.
(Lick creation)
