“I‘ve done worse things & I do what I please. Get out if you don’t want me to prove what kind of trash you are!” –Jean Genet
La Cebra adopted this phrase from Jean Genet, because it reflects not only the company’s strength and character, but also because it is a clear example of an irreverent attitude that surpasses all the rules.
Founded in June 1996 in Mexico by José Rivera, La Cebra Gay Dance Company has won awards, caused controversial scandals, garnered applause and sold out–performances sometimes in the same night!
The main purpose of the Company is to bring the exuberance of Gay culture onto the stage in all of its intricate manifestations.
Featuring: Yo no soy Pancho Villa, ni me gusta el Fútbol (I’m not Pancho Villa & I don’t like soccer); Ave María Purisima — de prostitución y lentejuelas (Holy Sacred Mary – of prostitutes and glittering spangles) and Antes Que Amanezca — Cuando Ya Va Bien Mala – Before Dawn, When She’s Dragging Down and others.
Don’t miss this chance to see La Cebra before they close the whole damn border!
