Mexican Fugue - Thursday, April 12 - 7:00pm - Phyllis Wattis Theater
April 11, 2012
The title of the program, Mexican Fugue, is taken from the late Olivier Debroise’s book Fuga Mexicana (translated as Mexican Suite)—a watershed text in the cultural history of Mexican photography. It will be composed and staged as both a critical dialogue with SFMOMA’s exhibition of Mexican photography and as an exploration of wider representations of Mexican national culture and cosmopolitan modernism.
