BUY TICKETS
You are cordially invited to the presentation in society of our
dearest daughter, Corazon de Quinceañera. At the celebration, you'll
be treated to Madonna as God on earth, cyborg Russian dolls, urgent
little boy-girls, the pain of love and love of pain, exquisite corpses
and the mechanics of dreams. And for dessert, there's a Jell-O that'll
send you into ecstasy! Curated by Claudia Pardo and Arturo Castelan.
