El
Ruco, Chuco, Cholo, Pachuco
A One Man Performance
Written
and performed by
Pepe Serna
Acclaimed
veteran actor, painter, and Master Teacher Pepe Serna and
stars in his one-man show titled:
"El
Ruco, Chuco, Cholo, Pachuco".
Through
his mystical rhymes, The versatile actor takes you on a journey
dating back to the pre-Columbian era that includes the legends from
beyond. This universal stage propels him into a variety of characters
from his past, present and future as he explores his Chicano experience
and roots with split-second intensity.
"In
this live performance, I want to reach out into the audience and
celebrate our unique culture through the arts. I believe each and
every one of us is an artist in their own lives."
Serna's
performance goes in and out of each personality with laser-like
clarity, as he jumps from century to century, continent to continent
and ranging from the very serious to the comedic. The audience will
end up laughing at itself.
"My
performance will either give life to the child buried deep inside
or reacquaint you with the child within you that begs to be heard.
This is an adventure in the joy of your daily life. I perform what
I hope to be a bridge to greater understanding from culture to culture
and compassion for the soul's ethnic journey because we really are
all members of the same American Family."
Through
this intense and colorful performance Pepe Serna uses brilliant
Mexican colors in his work to transport the audience through him
onto the stage.
If
his performance were a painting, you would experience the bold and
vibrant strokes of his brush become his stage through the use of
a magical palette of words in English, Spanish, and Calo (Mexican-American
Slang). The audience is his subject and is transformed into the
painting with him.
