Tejana Atómica

This year, Tejana Atómica will bring together four of San Antonio’s most powerful storytellers, including las cuatas Sarah and Lilith Tijerina, la única Florinda Flores Brown y la jefa Ruby Nelda Pérez, for two magical and electrifying evenings of original performance.

Originally from Laredo, TX, Florinda Flores-Brown has made San Antonio her home for over 12 years. Flores-Brown will be presenting “The Heights,” a short story from her in-progress collection titled Laredo: Barrio Stories.

Twin sisters Sarah and Lilith Tijerina have been collaborating with each other since birth, this time performing together in Chupacabrona, which they describe as “a Jennifer’s-body-meets-TEETH-meets-Cherrie-Moraga-meets-Texan-urban-legend punk rock boy eater.”

Legendary Queen of Teatro, Ruby Nelda Pérez is a beloved Teatrista and Chicana cultural worker. Ruby will be performing Plática y Escenas / Conversation and Scenes (a working title).
