Barrio Stories celebrates and preserves the history and heritage of Tucson’s historic Mexican-American barrios. Using a cross-sector process involving anthropologists, historians, youth, theatre makers, and community, the project collects oral histories from elders from “Barrio Anita” to create a site specific performance. Experience Tucson humanity as communal memories come to life, revealing the people, place, and culture of the barrio past. The spectacle based performance will be a walking tour through the barrio where audiences walk through a series of theatrical installations. Along with video projections of oral histories sprinkled throughout the neighborhood, there will be shadow theatre, live music, spoken word poetry, food, and a variety of interactive activities for families to participate in.
