BUTCHLALIS - submitted by raquefella

Dear Friends, Acquaintances, Awkward Moments, Strange Bedfellows, Bitter Rivals, Identity Politicians, Journalists, Nature Lovers, et all:

We, the four of us in the Butchlalis de Panochtitlan, have an all new full-length show that features new work, familiar characters, and some surprises from your favorite rascally tear-jerking tear jerks and caballeros. And we invite you to come and witness, write home about or at least blog it because maybe it's just us but we think not. The collective's decided that 2007 is the year of passion and persuasion.
Maybe the L.A. Weekly catches on, maybe not. Maybe we'll actually get a gig in East L.A., maybe not. Maybe lesbians will pronounce "papi" as "pah-pee" and not "paaap-pee," maybe not.

Still...we, like a beat, go on.

BdP Get U.G.L.Y.
BUTCHLALIS DE PANOCHTITLAN
Infantilizing foursome? Nah! Just the same hot butches with brand new schemes! Expect BdP to bring the sexy wit live and always direct with these troubling and titillating images, skits and skills. New work by the furious foursome call Chicano history with a capital "H", radical femininity, transnational desire, co-dependent deities, papi perils, butch maternity, pain sluts and bitch-hood into question. Voyeurs and haters alike are forced to engage "love em or hate em" you can't kill 'em and you can't live without 'em.
