Lucho Ramirez, a performer as well as director in theater, presented his one man production of Concierto Barroco December 4-5 and narrated La Mujer Crucificada (The Crucified Woman) and other perverse stories December 18-19. It was very impressive watching both his performance of Concierto Barroco and listening to his narrations.

Here is the propaganda for the performance, the picture carries more a sense of the bizarre than I can put into words.

And here is Lucho during his performance of 'Concierto Barroco'. The only props were a bottle of wine on the table, a glass (of course) and a CD player which provided part of the background 'concierto' during part of the performance.

The goal of the cultural center is to attend to the totality of "What is happening today in Cusquenian, Peruvian and South American art and culture?" (in that order). We encourage and provide space for music, theater, dance, stories, readings, and other performances. In collaboration with the art gallery, we also offer space for exhibitions of contemporary art in all of the medias that the creative mind might conceive.
