Operating in NYC and Mexico. APOCALITZIN is an epic dance theater piece set in a landscape of environmental crisis following the adventures of its eponymous heroine, a futuristic hybrid of human and plastic, descended from the Mexica (Mēxihcah) people. The piece tells a story of possibility and transformation, celebrating and exploring the people and values we must uphold to cease and repair the damage our societies inflict on nature and those living at the margins of capitalism. Apocalitzin represents the resilience of life and the resistance of Indigenous people and values against the capitalist machine.
