DC Arts Center and GALA Theatre present LOS TREINTA a celebration of the thirty-year history of the Salvadorean presence in Washington DC. LOS TREINTA is a research, oral history, and performance project that brought together artists, scholars, and students to explore the presence of Salvadoreans in the Washington DC area over the last thirty years. Working together, this team has deeply explored the evolution of our migration and presence. The basis of the process was research - looking at data and statistics, reviewing articles from local papers over the years, and most importantly, interviews and conversations with the people who lived through these thirty years. The real voice of the performance comes directly from their stories, anecdotes and concerns.

Others run from imagined clubs where klezmorim jam with salseros, cantors croon with Afrobeat brass bands, and 80's 'hair' bands belt out Yiddish ditties accompanied by screeching guitars and synthesizers.
