Radical Evolution, Latinx Playwrights Circle, The Sol Project, and Boundless Theatre Company present Canciones Collaboratively created by Rebecca Martínez, Julián Mesri, Beto O’Byrne, Sara Ornelas, and Meropi Peponides Join three generations of the legendary Guerrero family as they gather for a special family reunion. In the kitchen, Kati and Ellie are digging up old feuds. On the patio, you can get high (on life) with the cousins, and in the living room, Maestra will tell you about the generations of musicians that came before, while you sit next to her sipping your drink. As the evening unfolds, secrets are unearthed, old rivalries are revived, and the family is forced to decide who will carry on their musical legacy. Inspired by the seminal Linda Ronstadt album Canciones de mi Padre, Canciones is a site-specific party, an acoustic Mariachi jam, and a family reunion all rolled into an immersive, interactive experience. Come for the tamales—stay for the chisme! May 2-24, 2026 Accessibility: Please note that Canciones is located in a private home. There are 6 steps required to access the front door of the home.

About Radical Evolution
MISSION Radical Evolution is a producing collective committed to creating artistic events that seek to understand the complexities of our multicultural existence in the 21st Century. VISION We use an ensemble-based approach to create aesthetically and formally rigorous events that bring together people from disparate backgrounds, to break down barriers between cultures and creative practices. We collaborate with people from many different identities with whom we build capacity to relate to each other across difference, with a focus on people of color, to seed the field of performance with practitioners that celebrate the intersectionality of perspectives and aesthetics of the city around us. Through this approach, we work to assert a vision for cultural and social equity in our field, city, and nation.
