From May – June, the assembled works of all eight
artists will be presented live, in-sequence
“Synesthesia” is a multi-medium art show displaying how eight
artistsof different genres inspire each other. The first artist was
asked toselect a fortune cookie. They have two weeks to create a
pieceinspired by the fortune. The next artist will then see that
creationand will have two weeks to design his own piece inspired by
the artistbefore him (never having seen the fortune). The next artist
in theseries will interpret that piece and then has two weeks to
create apiece of his own. The next artist will interpret THAT piece
and in twoweeks will create his work from there. Then another artist
interpretsthe preceding piece and the process will continue for 4
monthsinvolving a total of 8 performing artists. This game of
“creativetelephone” will culminate in an evening of their work
performed live,in-sequence. The transitions will consist of a video
montage ofmoments in response to the artist who just performed and
glimpses intothe initial impulses that sparked the inspiration of the
next piece to come.

LA Weekly
says
it's a Go!
Evangeline . .
.a devoted
daughter by day, a Hollywood go-go dancer by night. A young Chicana’s
neighborhood roots and make-believe world collide as she is engulfed
in a journey of self-discovery through the music and art of the Sunset
Strip, Laurel Canyon, and La Cienega Boulevard while her East L.A.
neighborhood explodes in the 1968 student walkouts and the fight for
equal education and civil rights.
Evangeline,
the Queen of Make-Believe:
A
collaboration between About Productions and Louie Pérez of Los Lobos,
it features the songbook of Grammy-winners Pérez and David Hidalgo and
is inspired by their rocker “Evangeline.” The show is written
by Theresa Chavez, Rose Portillo, and Pérez.
