Wear a zoot suit, hablas español Chicano
['Christopher Delgado', 'Arts', 'Life Editor']
The Paisano
The Paisano had the opportunity to talk with Garza and Theater Director Jorge Piña.
“The first time I saw the film ‘Zoot Suit’ by Luis Valdez, I was certainly blown away by the iconic version of a Pachuco in that film,” Garza said.
With this mission in mind, Garza set out to expand a poem that focused on “ch” sounds in Español Chicano into a 30-minute, one-person show.
After gathering the attention of an artistic director in Dallas, Garza and the Pachucho’s interwoven fate became much clearer.
Contrary to the typical swaggerful, stoic Pachuco associated with Edward James Olmos in “Zoot Suit,” Garza’s Pazchuco is more of a comedic interpretation.
