Let Me Tell You (Te Voy a Contar) is a humorous performance of dramatized stories, recovered from the oral tradition of the Andean villages and Amazonas region in Peru. With song, dance, masks, color and joy, it is for the whole family.
Yuyachkani is a Quechua word that means "I am thinking, I am remembering." Using this name, and working to honor its meaning, the Peruvian theatre collective Grupo Cultural Yuyachkani (Yuyachkani Cultural Group) has been creating theatre since 1971.
This event is co-sponsored by the Theatre and Dance Department, the Center for Iberian and Latin American Studies (CILAS), the Chancellor's Associates Endowed Chair III and the Literature and History Departments. If you need driving directions, please visit the Theatre and Dance Department webpage:

The Center for Iberian and Latin American Studies presents
Saul Landau
When: Thursday, October 11, 2007 from 3:30-6:00 p.m.
Where: Weaver Center, Institute of the Americas, UCSD Campus
The Center for Iberian and Latin American Studies invites you to meet IPS Fellow Saul Landau. He will be discussing his film titled: WE DON'T PLAY GOLF HERE-and other stories of globalization. Using Mexico as an example of what the Third World has experienced, filmmaker Saul Landau shows how foreign investments in export factories distort both the culture and environment. Its exquisite photography, elegant editing, and original music probe the essence of the new economic disorder.
Saul Landau is an internationally-known scholar, author, commentator, and filmmaker on foreign and domestic policy issues. Landau has produced over forty films on social, political and historical issues, and worldwide human rights, for which he won the Letelier-Moffitt Human Rights Award, the George Polk Award for Investigative Reporting, and the First Amendment Award.
