Desde Otro 0/ From Another Zero: Theresa Chavez and Nina Diaz on Adobe Punk: The Concert

Interviews From Another Zero-YouTube Edition

Artistic Director at About...Productions Theresa Chavez and Performer Nina Diaz, are hosted by the Zero to discuss Adobe Punk, THE CONCERT a six-day feast spread out between Los Angeles and Pasadena. In this lovely interview, we discuss the creative process for Adobe' as well as their Other Zeros.

Diaz and band members will weave in stories from the original Adobe Punk 2022 theaterwork which was co-created by Gabriel Garza and Theresa Chavez. The setting is early 1980s working-class Bell Gardens where punk music finds life in one of L.A.’s oldest adobe homes. Inspired by the bands X, the Minutemen, and the Bags, a young punk trio builds its songbook as they define their artistic identity and find their place in the musical, and historic early California landscape of Los Angeles.

Punkast interviews will enlighten new and seasoned audiences in the punk movement’s historic and current impact on the cultural zeitgeist. Also excited to share this work with Young Theaterworks public high school students from Los Angeles and Pasadena Unified School District. They’ll get to see the show and share their own writing on the topic in special weekday morning matinees at each of the venues.
