Imagine one sound engineer creating hundreds of sound effects before your very eyes! Imagine being swept away by the incredible original music! Imagine a story that transports you from Rumania to Scotland to Tunis to the far reaches of outer space! But wait! You don't need to imagine it...

Aztlan's production of "INFLUENCES: A Cinematic Showdown" restages silver screen dance icons of classic and contemporary Latino inspired cinema. In this two-hour full-length program company dancers revisit and recreate important original dances that have defined Latino culture in cinema. They also illustrate how dance has shaped and influenced contemporary Latino popular culture. From the classic cinema, dances of Ricardo Montalban, Cantinflas, Tongolele, and Robert Rodriquez' Desperado-inspired characters, Aztlan links the 2D frames of cinema to forge a third dimension of depth and meaning that narrates a story of cultural influences, intersections, and continuity. Aztlan demonstrates how performative dance as an embodiment of cinematic culture directly influences and impacts the way we connect and interact with each other. It's dance, Aztlan style!
