Rhythms of Resistance showcases the full range of La Mecla’s cross-rhythmic dance and musical
repertoire, blending together Tap Dance, Son Jarocho (music and dance from Veracruz, Mexico),
and Afro-Caribbean rhythms. Structured as a concert rather than a full-length production, the
performance highlights excerpts from La Mezcla’s acclaimed works Ghostly Labor and Pachuquismo, while offering cultural context and interactive rhythmic activities that engage audience members. The evening will also include a screening of Convivencia, an original film by La Mezcla directed by José Leaños.

Through vibrant choreography, live music, and community engagement, Rhythms of Resistance
offers audiences an unforgettable experience that celebrates cultural resilience, artistic
innovation, and the power of rhythm as a force for storytelling and social change.
