Vanessa Sanchez y La Mezcla in Ghostly Labor
A new evening-length work by Vanessa Sanchez y La Mezcla, Ghostly Labor seamlessly blends
tap dance, Mexican zapateado, and Afro Caribbean dance with live music and captivating video.
Featuring an all-female dance company, spoken word, traditional son jarocho music from
Veracruz, Mexico, and an Afro-Latinx percussive score, this dance theater production delves
into the rich history of labor in the US-Mexico borderlands. The powerful storytelling sheds light
on the experiences of farm workers and domestic workers throughout California, generations of
unseen laborers, and the joy of collective resistance.
