Director John Jota Leaños peresents his latest production, Imperial Silence - Una Ópera Muerta; A Mariachi Opera in Four Acts. This is a multimedia performance that journeys to the "other side" to illuminate cultural taboos around silence, death and dissent in the satirical Mexican and Chicana/o tradition of the Days of the Dead.

This hybrid performance fuses dark-humored animation with Mexican folklore dance, Mariachi music, hip-hop, bossa nova and blues conceived and created by Leaños, composer Cristóbal Martinez, the Mariachi ensemble, Los Cuatro Vientos.  The live/dead performance includes a live DJ, stage actors, folklore dancers, and Mariachi singers who interact with projected animations.
