Navidad en Nueva York : Los Nutcrackers: A Christmas Carajo
9:41 am By Maegan la Mamita Mala · Arts|Events|GLBT · Comments Off
2 Dec 2009
Mala may struggle with Thanksgiving, pero I’m a sucker for the Christmas season. Not the Christ-y religious part of it (although I acknowledge that I carry stuff from my Catholic upbringing), pero celebrating Navidad as a Rican in NYC is one of my favorite cosas in the world and I’m not ashamed to say it.
If you need a reason to love Navidad en NYC, here’s one: Los Nutcrackers: A Christmas Carajo .
“HO! HO! HO!” becomes “HA! HA! HA!” this holiday
season with LOS NUTCRACKERS: A CHRISTMAS
CARAJO.This queer, Latino, holiday play
returns for
the 6th triumphant year to celebrate the holidays in a
whole new way. Written by BAAD!’s own Charles
Rice-González and directed by the award-winning
Jorge Merced.The play features a talented and sexy cast of Latino
actors including: Johnathan Cedano, Indio
Melendez, Gabriel Morales, Cisco Perez, and
Yosvany Reyes. Returning this year, in a
special role is the legendary Bronx drag diva
Appolonia Cruz.This play centers around a couple, Carlos and
Gabriel, who have been together for almost 15 years.
Their arguing and fighting has reached the queer
heavens from which comes a ghetto thug/diva spirit
who guides them on a trip through their lives. They
travel to the first time they met back in 1986 at a white
party at the Palladium dancing to Lisa Lisa and Cult
Jam to a catastrophic trip to City Center to see The
Nutcracker, to a dinner party with Martha Stewart
fanatics, and more.Show times are:
* Thursday, December 3 at 8pm
* Friday, December 4 at 8pm
* Saturday, December 5 at 8pm
* Thursday, December 10 at 8pm
* Friday, December 11 at 8pm
* Saturday, December 12 at 8pm
Ay someone needs to watch my kids so I can go see this or por lo menos buy tickets and tell them merry crica from la Mala.
Monday Morning Musica y Moviemiento : All the Ladies Say
7:49 am By Maegan la Mamita Mala · Culture|dance|Events|history|Movies|Music|New York City|Women · Comments Off
2 Nov 2009The history of hip hop is often told in a male voice and from a male point of view. The role of mujeres, from MC’s to B Girls, is told as an aside. Enter the legendary Rokafella, a figure I knew growing up, as an example of fierceness, presenting a new documentary that highlights the lives of six street dancers exploring motherhood, sexual tension, femininity versus masculinity and the rap industry/mainstream images.
This coming Saturday at BAAD!, in the Bronx, NY you can catch a sneak peek screening of All the Ladies Say. The event includes performances by guest artists and photos by Vanessa Bahmani and Emily Lady Caprice. This event is a fundraiser to support the completion of the film and will be followed by an after party with an open jam.
As the 30 Days of Latino Heritage continues (don’t forget to submit something to the tumblr site Maegan created!), highlights from the Bronx Academy of Art and Dance (BAAD!) BlakTino Series have been captured! BAAD!’s goal with the BlakTino Series is to represent the African and indeginous communities that are often forgotten/ignored/excluded in the Latino experience/history/heritage.
If you missed the first two programs, one of Queer BlakTino Cartoonists/Illustrators and Erika Lopez’s performance, check out the videos below which are both from GRITtv with Laura Flanders.
Queering The Lines of Cartoons features Jennifer Camper, Carlo Quispe, and Erika Lopez who were three of four artist on the panel. Ivan Velez, Jr. was not able to attend the interview but was present on the panel. Visit the Bronx News Network site to see fotos of the panel!
Below is a clip from the first part of Erika Lopez‘s “Nothing Left But The Smell” one-woman show about her experiences as a Black-Puerto Rican Bisexual Artist and how she realized and coped with her new identity: Welfare Queen. Some language in the video is Not Safe For Work (NSFW).
