La Pocha Nostra intervenes in the permanent collections of the de Young with five powerful performance art pieces. These live art pieces will explore the decorated human body as cultural artifact. The personas on display will be contemporary and live versions of the collection’s iconography, echoing the narrative of the exhibit and creating surprising juxtapositions. The audience is invited to wander through the museum and discover the five ”living dioramas,” each located in a different gallery.

The live shows mix the tightness and seamless mixing of a DJ with the live energy and spontaneity of a live band. Every time Pleasuremaker takes the stage, a party ensues and the dance floor is in full effect.
