FOLXLÓRICO is a nonprofit, independent organization whose mission is to build a safe space while developing an understanding of Méxican folkloric dance through cultural emergence. We want to provide an inclusive experience of reinvented customs and empower young, marginalized voices. We strive to raise awareness of the cultural, ethnic, and educational significance of Folklórico on and off campus. "Movement for All" is a motto we stand behind because it signifies inclusiveness for gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, etc.
The Canción Cannibal Cabaret is a Xicana punk rock musical—part concept album, part radio play. Set in a not-so-distant dystopian future, La Madre Valiente, a refugee raised under the oppressive State, studies secretly to become the leader of a feminist revolution. Her emissaries, Las Hijas de la Madre, roam the land spreading her story, educating others, and galvanizing allies. Inspired by current issues of social injustice, this multidisciplinary musical performance piece is a refugee, people of color, feminist, and LGBTQ+ call to action.
