SUMMARY:Dorian Wood: Canto (Versión Juanga)
DESCRIPTION:Doors at 7:30PM \n\n\n\nPerformance begins at 8:00PM  \n\n\n\n$15 / sliding scale  :   Friday Tickets  –  Saturday Tickets \n\n\n\nDorian Wood returns to Human Resources for two nights only with an immersive performance that interweaves music from her newly-released album Canto de Todes (New Amsterdam Records) with iconic songs by the legendary singer/composer Juan Gabriel. Loved by millions around the world\, El Divo de Juárez has left an undeniable imprint on our collective consciousness. Says Wood: “Growing up in South L.A. in the 80’s\, Juanga’s music was the air we breathed\, always on the radio\, on TV\, drifting in the air at picnics in MacArthur Park\, backyard birthday parties\, bake sales at Plaza de la Raza\, and soothing us to sleep from the living room while our parents stayed up. No other artist has achieved this kind of omnipresence. I want my brief return to L.A. this year to convey these memories\, and this honoring of Juanga\, de toda corazón.”  \n\n\n\nWood’s own composition Canto de Todes–Spanish for “Song of Everyone”–is a mutating project that began as a touring 12-hour work and was released in May 2026 as a 70-minute album that weaves together chamber classical\, folk\, torch song\, and experimental music. Canto de Todes emphasizes the urgency of music as a vessel for social change\, and simultaneously honors the ancestral trajectory of Wood’s Costa Rican-Nicaraguan family in the U.S.

SUMMARY:Lechedevirgen: XOCHIHUA Ancestral Blooming
DESCRIPTION:$15 Suggested donation \n\n\n\n“Travestis somos\, vestimos fores\, y nos transformamos con las estaciones”Dusting off a seemingly withered past\, this performance addresses the transvestite ancestrythat survives and flourishes in Abya Yala\, emphasizing the sacred role of sexual dissidenceand trans people in precolonial times. \n\n\n\nLechedevirgen reclaims the symbolic power of flowers and their ancestral connection totransvestism\, using the metaphor of blossoming (the blossoming of the trans/travesti body\,the same blossoming of revolutions and liberation) to reclaim the history that was erasedand extirpated by the processes of domination that imposed compulsory heterosexuality anda cisgender fundamentalism that still pathologizes\, criminalizes\, and takes the lives of ourtransvestite/trans/non-binary communities. \n\n\n\nThe word “Xochihua\,” translated as “she who carries the flower\,” is the Nahuatl term fortransvestites and queer men—homosexual men who dressed and acted as women—inAztec times before colonization in the territory now known as “Mexico\,” the second deadliestcountry for trans people in the world in the current context. Xochihuas are strongly linked toXochipilli\, the “lord of flowers\,” a deity of art\, joy\, ecstasy\, sexual pleasure\, sacred flowers\,and entheogens. \n\n\n\nLechedevirgen (they/them)\, is a non-binary sexual dissident mexican artist that conceives oftheir artistic work as the creation of acts of disobedience and symbolic revenge\, combiningwriting\, performance\, ritual\, and expanded transvestism from an anti-patriarchal\, anti-colonial\, and anti-racist perspective. A representative of the LGBT+ counterculture and apioneer of post-pornography in Mexico\, their invented “Heterosexual DeconversionTherapies” and is the author of “Deshacer el Arte” (OnA Ediciones\, 2025)\, “PensamientoPuñal” (Dos Filos\, 2022)\, and the phrase “I Don’t Feel Pride\, I Feel Rage\,” which addresseshate crimes and critiques pinkwashing. Them has presented their work in Colombia\,Ecuador\, Mexico\, the United States\, Canada\, and Europe.

SUMMARY:Isaura String Quartet
DESCRIPTION:$15 sugested donation \n\n\n\n“The brilliant playing of the Isaura Quartet is a technical triumph\, equal to the emotional demands of the music.”— SEQUENZA 21 \n\n\n\n“[The music] was felt in the body\, in the nerves and sinews\, under the ribcage\, and in the throat. All this from a remarkable string quartet that extended the syntactical and sonic range of their instruments.”— JACKI APPLE\, FABRIK MAGAZINE \n\n\n\nIsaura String Quartet returns to the Dog Star Festival for the first time since 2016\, presenting music by Laura Cetilia\, inti figgis-vizueta\, Sarah Hennies\, and Gloria Coates. Inspired by their collaboration with Coates on the west coast premiere of her 9th string quartet\, ISQ’s program explores themes of transformation\, liberation\, and imagining new futures as we want to see them. Coates wrote of her 9th quartet’s final movement\, The Cry\, that it “suggests heralding of a new world of sound.” Audiences are invited to join ISQ for an evening of musical embodiment through microtonal tuning\, improvisatory soundscapes\, extended technique\, and very many long\, slow glissandi. \n\n\n\nIsaura String Quartet is a Grammy Award-nominated ensemble based in Los Angeles. Described as “venturesome” and “edgy” in the LA Times\, the quartet pushes boundaries while staying true to their mission of promoting contemporary chamber music through live performance\, workshops\, and collaborative projects with composers and interdisciplinary artists. Founded in 2013\, ISQ’s practice is centered around music\, community\, and developing systems to support and examine the spaces in which they work. The quartet has commissioned 35 new works\, prioritizing new pieces through their programming with a focus on workshopping and supporting the work of emerging composers. Isaura String Quartet is Betsy Rettig (she/her)\, Emily Call (she/her)\, Laila Zakzook (she/her)\, and Mads Falcone (they/them).  \n\n\n\nPhoto by Zeynep Yeldan
