Abstract

In this brief meditation, and with an interest in the interplay of cultural memory and official history, the author directs attention to the production of Pizcas aimed at children and performed by Teatro Dallas at the Latino Cultural Center. The author argues that the production, and the theatre activities played out with children immediately following the production, engaged latinidad in order reveal places of affective investment and empowerment. It is a fact that Latin@ youth cannot escape the intricacies of living with a complex identity that much of the U.S. populace is uncomfortable addressing.

En esta breve meditación, y con un interés en el inter-juego de la memoria cultural y la historia oficial, el autor dirige la atención a la producción de Pizcas, obra dirigida a los niños e interpretada por Teatro Dallas, en el Centro Cultural Latino. El autor sostiene que la producción y las actividades de teatro representadas con los niños inmediatamente después de la producción, participan latinidad con el fin de revelar lugares de inversión afectiva y de empoderamiento. Es un hecho que la juventud latina no puede escapar de las implicaciones de vivir con una identidad compleja, que a gran parte de la población de Estados Unidos le resulta incómodo mirar.
