Jump-Start celebrates turning 41 with XALLI, a gathering of all manner of artists presenting freshly-created short works of performance.

An indigenous blessing of the space precedes the main event  of Performance Party XLI and then over the courseof three acts, performance artists, dancers, poets, musicians, drag artists, actors, and the undefinable offer a continual communal experience. Eddie Vega, Los MENtirosos, Stephan Gaeth, Kimberlyn Montford, Irene Chavez, Wiley Martinez, Dragonfly, and Marisela Barrera are just a few of the participating artists. Jump-Start’s Flaming Fire-Eaters round off the night.

This year’s PP theme, XALLI, is the Nahuatl word for sand, a timeless earthly element of many sources, colors and formations. Just like all of us.
