Huellas is an Afro-Peruvian dance theater performance co-created by Carmen Roman and Pierr Padilla Vasquez. It is inspired by the ancestral dance Son de los Diablos. The Son de los Diablos is the first manifestation of resilience for African descendants in Peru. It represents a fight for culture and identity and a way to keep ancestral memory alive and shares the story of decolonization, resistance and of connecting to ancestral memory. Huellas centers Afro-Peruvian rhythms, instruments, and dances to bring visibility to the African Diaspora in Latinx communities. This project highlights the history, existence, resistance, and cultural contributions of people of African ancestry in Peru as a way to reclaim and remember a history that is often made invisible.
Performers: Carmen Roman and Pierr Padilla
Musicians: Kyla Danysh, Holly Shogbesan, Erick Peralta and Pedro Rosales
20$ - 30$.
Presented by Brava Theater Center.
