Mini Biography

Known as the founder of contemporary Chicano theatre and film, Luis Valdez was created to migrant farm workers Francisco and Armida Valdez and spent his early life touring using the family, employed in the fields himself. He ultimately discovered himself at San Jose Condition University, where his perform “The Shrunken Head of Pancho Villa” was staged in 1964. He later on became a member of the United Plantation Employees and staged improvisational theatre by using union actors to help expand their causes. This function lead to the forming of his Un Teatro Campesino, which created the majority of Valdez’ early takes on in both US and European countries. His accounts of racism in 1940s LA, Zoot Match (1981), premiered in 1982 to significantly less than crucial acclaim. Valdez continuing to create and direct through the entire period; his film La Bamba (1987), the tragic tale of Chicano vocalist Ritchie Valens, demonstrated wildly effective and released the screen professions of Lou Gemstone Phillips and Esai Morales. He proceeds to travel thoroughly while remaining accurate to his Chicano theatrical root base.
