Stories From Home is a series of dances embodying the oral traditions of Nuevomexicano and Chicano communities in the American Southwest.

Choreographer Yvonne Montoya and an all-Mexican American cast of dancers draw upon personal histories as well as ancestral knowledge, including stories from Montoya’s great-grandmother, grandmother, great-aunts, and father. With palpable theatricality, moving spoken word, a movement aesthetic informed by vibrant ancestral and contemporary sources, and universal themes of love, family, and home, brings these largely underrepresented experiences to the stage.

Stories From Home is a vessel for personal and specific tales, while also offering a broader look at various cultural traditions throughout the Southwest.
