Mestiza Power is a powerfully performed and beautifully directed new work from Yucatán, Mexico that illustrates the dignity and everyday lives of contemporary Mayan women. Through a series of interviews conducted with city and rural street vendors, the artists recount childhood memories, educational experiences, cultural life, and current issues facing Mayan women. These interviews and monologues encompass the women’s voices and include stories of domestic violence, street selling, and mystical practice. Performance in Spanish with English supertitles. Translation by Harley Erdman.
