Vanessa Sanchez y La Mezcla in Ghostly Labor

Ghostly Labor is a multidisciplinary, rhythmic performance that explores the history of labor in the US-Mexico borderlands and the joy of collective resistance. This work brings together tap dance, Mexican zapateado, Afro Caribbean movement, live music and animated archival video. Featuring an all-female dance company, spoken word, traditional son jarocho music from Veracruz, Mexico, and an Afro-Latinx percussive score, this full length dance theater production highlights historical events, such as the Bath Riots of 1917, the experiences of farm workers and domestic workers throughout California, and generations of labor that have gone unseen.

Please note that this performance contains moments of strong language.
