Astrid Hadad y Los Tarzanes
No full textCabaret diva-comedienne and performance artist, Astrid Hadad, already a legend in her native Mexico City and across the world, is known for her ravishing voice and outrageous stage presence. Astrid's show is a fusion of song, theatre and cabaret with gorgeous music from her band "Los Tarzanes". The performance featured a never-ending parade of huge, extravagant costumes that serve as hilariously inventive portable sets. Whether playing the Aztec Nun, Statue of Liberty or the Postmodern Coatlicue, Astrid embodies every lyric and iconic character with a wickedly funny stage presence.
Astrid is the creator of a style that she calls "Heavy Nopal" - this successfully combines elements of ranchero, bolero, samba, rumba, rock and jazz while humorously encapsulating the social and political realities of world in which we live. Astrid Hadad and Los Tarzanes fuse comedy, music, and theatre innovatively drawing upon traditions of Mexican and Latin popular culture that creates an all-too-funny, unforgettable heartwarming evening of contemporary stage magic - a true delight! Presented by International Arts Initiatives and the Chan Centre in association with LIVE Biennial

Performance, política e multiculturalismo no cabaré popular de Astrid Hadad
No full textThis article locates the marks of a cabaretera cultural tradition in the text-performance of Astrid Hadad, a mexican contemporary cabaretera. This “tradition” represented by the cabaretera culture in Mexico would come to be reappropriated by Hadad´s reinterpretation. Using references from the imaginary about the cabaret developed by cultural politics of post-revolutionary Mexico, the performer promotes a multicultural discourse in order to denounce the subalternity practices presented in the Mexican and Latin-American historical process. From the use of the Paul Zumthor’s concept of performance in The letter and the voice, we will develop an analisis about the dialogues made by the performer. Her mise-en-scène establishes a inter/transdisciplinary dialogue among literature, cinema, circus, radio and the diva’s universe of the star system.Este artigo pretende problematizar a permanência de uma tradição da cultura cabaretera no texto-performance da cabaretera contemporânea mexicana Astrid Hadad. A partir de referências tomadas do imaginário em torno do cabaré agenciado pelas políticas culturais do México pós-revolucionário, a performer promove um discurso multicultural para denunciar as práticas de subalternização presentes no processo histórico mexicano e latino-americano. Para tanto, partiremos do conceito de performance elaborado por Paul Zumthor em A letra e a voz, para desenvolvermos uma análise dos diálogos travados pela performer/cabaretera. Sua mise-en-scène se apropria de um diálogo inter/transdisciplinar no qual estão presentes a literatura, o cinema, o circo, o teatro de revista, o rádio e o universo das divas do cabaré
