Denver has a history of Chicano theatre, which has deep roots going back to the state's founding and has made tremendous progress since the rise of the Chicano movement in the 1960s. As demographics in Denver and Colorado as a whole have become more diverse, other Latino people need a place to make their voices heard and their stories told. Flamboyán seeks to fill that gap by highlighting Puerto Rican stories that offer a different perspective of the Latino experience that aligns with the island's distinct history and relationship to the US. In this way, we can unite the Puerto Rican community and educate Coloradans of all backgrounds about our experiences and culture.
