De Inga y Mandinga (roughly “of Indigenous and African heritage”) is a multimedia, multidisciplinary, and multigenerational bilingual (English-Spanish) theater production that celebrates cultural and ethnic diversity in Latin America through stories of colonialism, migration, and cultural mixing.

The 2022 De Inga y Mandinga version will be a new iteration of previous versions in which we will incorporate Sephardic and Ladino repertoire along with Afro-Latinx diasporic music.

This performance is the story of migration and cultural survival of two women, one Jewish and one African, and their journey to Latin America.

The core artists for this show include the De Cajón Project music group (Taryn Webber, Jabali Stewart, Eduardo Montero, Monica Rojas-Stewart), Milvia Pacheco, Lian Caspi, Reynaldo Ruiz, and guest artists Antonio Gomez and Gus Denhard along with a youth group that will include both participants from the earlier productions and a new young ensemble. De Inga y Mandinga is a collective creation under the artistic direction of Monica Rojas-Stewart.
