“José Navarette doesn't just want his audience to groove, he wants them to move too — to take action against the current water crisis our world is facing at the hands of giant corporations. After an eye-opening trip to India, Navarette decided to channel his feelings of helplessness into a dance performance with Violeta Luna. Using characters from Aztec mythology and even some humor, they create a piece that will simultaneously make you sway in your seat and ditch your plastic water bottle.”

CounterPULSE's Winter 2010 artists in residence present their new work examining water privatization and the effects of incarceration on families in a double bill. In "Home is That Way?" Kendra Kimbrough Barnes creates an impassioned dance piece about a family dealing with incarceration. Following Barnes' dance drama, José Navarrete and Violeta Luna perform "New Rituals for a Desperate Era," which reinterprets ancient Mexican mythology and iconography to address pressing ecological issues around water rights and shortages.
