Queens Council on the Arts, Artist Commissioner Program presents its final live showcase featuring Dance To The People.

APOCALITZIN is an epic dance theater piece set in a landscape of environmental crisis following the adventures of its eponymous heroine, a futuristic hybrid of human and plastic, descended from the Mexica (Mēxihcah) people. 

The piece tells a story of possibility and transformation, celebrating and exploring the people and values we must uphold to cease and repair the damage our societies inflict on nature and those living at the margins of capitalism. Apocalitzin represents the resilience of life and the resistance of Indigenous people and values against the capitalist machine.

Dance To The People is an evolving collective making art without waste that promotes the valuing of life and demands justice for Indigenous peoples, people of color, and poor and working classes of the world, as for the stopping of the annihilation of natural systems.​​

dance to the people creates choreographed pieces, environmental movement research, community forums, workshops, public practices, and performance parties, all donation-based and open to the public.
