Lukas Avendaño is an acclaimed performance artist whose recent work constitutes a queer performatic intervention of Mexican nationalistic representations, particularly that of Zapotec Tehuana women. Avendaño embodies the complex identity of muxes, or male homosexuals from the Tehuantepec Isthmus where they were born. Their cross-dressing performance interweaves ritual dances with autobiographical passages and actions that involve audience members, in order to challenge the widely held view of a gay-friendly Indigenous culture and point towards the existence of lives that negotiate pain and loneliness with self-affirming pride.
This workshop is presented as part of RUTAS, an International Multi-Arts Festival, running Oct 3 - 14, 2018. Presented by Aluna Theatre in partnership with Native Earth Performing Arts.
