Culture Clash is a performance troupe composed of the writer-comedians Richard Montoya, Ric Salinas, and Herbert Sigüenza. Their work is of a satirical nature. Culture Clash was founded on May 5, 1984 at the Galería de la Raza in San Francisco's Mission District, by the writers José Antonio Burciaga, Marga Gómez, Monica Palacios, Richard Montoya, Ric Salinas, and Herbert Sigüenza. The founding date is significant due to the importance of Cinco de Mayo to Mexican-Americans, the shared ethnicity of the majority of collaborators. Montoya and Sigüenza had both been involved in the Chicano art scene in the San Francisco Bay Area, Montoya being the son of Chicano poet, artist, and activist José Montoya, and Sigüenza having been involved in the art collective La Raza Graphics, which created works of graphic art to support campaigns of the Chicano Movement. Culture Clash's works range from comedic sketches to full-length plays and screenplays, all of which feature political satire and social satire. The troupe's members have appeared separately and together in several films and received numerous awards, commissions and grants. In 1993 they filmed 30 episodes of a sketch comedy television series, also called Culture Clash. Some of them were aired on Fox affiliates. In 2006 they premiered two new full-length plays, the comedy ''Zorro in Hell'' and "SF: The Mexican Bus Mission Tour with CC!" Their works have been collected in two volumes, ''Culture Clash: Life, Death and Revolutionary Comedy'' and ''Culture Clash in AmeriCCa: Four Plays''. Their papers are housed at the California State University, Northridge (CSUN) Oviatt Library. ==External links== *(Official site ) *("20 Years of Culture Clash" ), a virtual exhibit from the Latino Cultural Hearitage Digital Archives at CSUN *(Culture Clash collection ) at the Latino Cultural Heritage Digital Archives at CSUN *(THE ''NEW'' LATC Official Site ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Culture Clash (performance troupe)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
