Los buquis (kids) from the ol' neighborhood have front row seats to Nana's Sunday matador ritual; a Westside girl yearns to be a dancer; a flash flood releases ancestral spirits; and other local folktales come to life through the magic of shadow puppetry. Experience, reminisce and celebrate the richness of Tucson's Sonoran heritage.
 
Sonoran Shadows
is a captivating shadow play based on Patricia Preciado Martin's short stories and local folktales. This ritual of remembrance takes its form from the ancient Balinese shadow tradition still active today. Activities begin at sundown with a blessing by Aztec dancers, Xochilpilli Centeotl, followed by a brief pre-show discussion with author Patricia Preciado Martin. Also featuring two shadow plays by students from Borderlands Theater's shadow theatre workshop in collaboration
with Tucson High Drama Department.
