Popol Vuh: Heart of Heaven, the Maya creation myth, adapted and directed by Kinan Valdez, comes to San Francisco with an epic visual feast, in a magical community performance. The play is produced and performed by El Teatro Campesino, the internationally known Chicano theatre company founded by Luis Valdez. El Teatro Campesino brings this ancient myth to life with towering puppetry, music, and dance. Popol Vuh: Heart of Heaven reaches across centuries and cultures to celebrate life and creation in three languages: Spanish, English, and Quiché.
