Artpace Performance Residency alum and Xicana artist/poet/playwright/activist Amalia Ortiz and her band Las Hijas de la Madre will occupy the Artpace rooftop on Thursday, March 5 for a free show of her hybrid poetry and performance text, The Canción Cannibal Cabaret.⁠

As a text, it is a collection of post-apocalyptic prose poems and poem songs “cannibalizing” knowledge from before the fall of civilization. In performance, The Canción Cannibal Cabaret is a punk rock musical—part concept album, part live theatre. Inspired by current issues of social injustice, this performance piece is a refugee people of color, feminist, and LGBTQ+ call to action. ⁠

The book and other merch will be available for purchase. Don't miss it!⁠
