Makuyeika Colectivo
The writing is intensely poetic and personal...they are at once passionate artists and fierce cultural warriors.
WTTW CHICAGO TONIGHT
Theater at its most elemental...you are learning about the complexities of tradition clashing against modernity.
CHICAGO TRIBUNE
The Play
Woven from ancestral myths, traditional music and arts, and a three-person narrative, Andares reveals the extraordinary, untold stories of the indigenous people who inhabit México’s most remote corners. Created by Director Héctor Flores Komatsu from his personal search to know and understand the original cultures of his homeland, Andares is a moving, fierce denunciation against a present that seems intent upon destroying what was once held as sacred.
