La Carpa De La Frontera is a site-specific tent-like vaudeville show where entertainment is taken into communities who are in most need of healing from the current pandemic situation. This comic relief performance will address issues such as immigration, race, human rights, accessibility, and culture in a comedic form through performance and visual art, using the concept of the old carpa (tent) style setting used in Mexican during the 1930s, ’40s and ’50s.

The mission of CARPA San Diego is to create a space where Latino artists can showcase their talent through theater, dance, music, and other artistic expressions reaching out to the community in a non-traditional setting. CARPA San Diego serves the community by bringing artists to their neighborhoods exposing them to the arts through presentation and education, inviting them to participate as creative individuals in performances, workshops, and dialogues expanding their knowledge of artistic culture. CARPA wants to build a fun, working atmosphere were artists and community members can learn from each other to inspire the prosperity of their surroundings.
