[Cwgrad-announcements] Culture Clash performance at UCR

[Ching-In Chen]

*FYI,

Ching-In

Culture Clash* holds a unique role in American arts as the most prominent
Chicano-Latino performance troupe.  For nearly two decades,
writer-actors *Richard
Montoya*, *Ric Salinas*, and *Herbert Siquenza* have imitated the workings
of social anthropologists by digging deep into America's racialized culture
to formulate their outrageous brand of "performance collage."  The
characters in *Culture Clash in AmeriCCa*, like all of their memorable
comedic sketches, are adapted from real interviews and reflect communities
in flux across the US. The troupe's signature use of sociopolitical satire,
vaudeville, mime and spoken-word, dramatizes the disjointed voices of the
socially invisible including ghettoized immigrants in San Diego, a Muslim
taxi driver in D.C., and a Vietnam vet living in Tijuana.
