Embrace the supernatural with an unforgettable installment of THE SALTY SERIES as we bring the legendary La Pocha Nostra to San Diego!
The weekend begins with an unforgettable live performance by La Pocha Nostra, featuring La Pocha Nostra’s Artistic Directors Balitrónica and Guillermo Gómez-Peña, with special guest Perry Vasquez. The Mex Files: A Divination Ritual is an immersive, live-action duet where spoken word and ritual performance collide. In a piece that defies conventional storytelling, Balitrónica manipulates tarot decks and a casino roulette, allowing fate to dictate the script and performance, creating a constantly evolving experience. This intimate and raw performance confronts both personal and collective crises, speaking to Gómez-Peña’s ongoing exploration of cultural reinvention, spiritual upheaval, and survival in the age of pandemics. The weekend continues with a screening of four of Gómez-Peña’s groundbreaking films on Sunday, October 20 at The Front Arte Cultura Gallery, offering a rare glimpse into the evolution of his cinematic work. NOTE: Ages 18+ The performance and films contain nudity and are not suitable for children. La Pocha Nostra on Facebook / Instagram

November 16, from 9-11:30 a.m. In this workshop, students will learn about the origins of Kintsugi, the Japanese ‘art of golden repair,’ and its meaning as it relates to one’s own life. Instructor Luis Santiago explains, “In these uncertain and crazy times, I believe people can find some solace and comfort in realizing that their so called 'scars' and imperfections are things that do not need to be hidden or ashamed of.” While the traditional craft of Kintsugi can take multiple months to complete, mastery in application, and involves toxic lacquer, the techniques used in this workshop to repair two ceramic pieces and embellish these pieces in two distinct Kintsugi-inspired ways brings it to a much wider audience and allows for completion in one workshop. All materials are included. Students will learn two distinct ways of highlighting the breaks of their provided ceramic pieces and will take home a unique piece. Ages 17+ are welcome. • Military and sibling discounts • Scholarships available • Homeschool funds accepted • If this class is full, join the Interest List. • If you would like to be notified of future offerings, join the Interest List to be notified when new dates or spaces are available.
