The background scene shows a bright blue sky, green trees behind a blue metal storage space in a concrete lot. From left to right we see Irvin, jumping with his right hand above his head, arching his back to the sky, with his left leg behind him. Next, we see Patty who is leaning on a white metal cart, with her right leg kicked up. Fonzy is jumping, facing towards the camera with his arms in a V shape. Rosa is standing on a pile of wooden pieces, with her right leg and right arm kicked up to her side while her left arm is on the blue storage metal, supporting her body. Irvin wears a brown and black cap, green mesh shirt, black jeans and black boots. Patty wears a red bandana on her neck, a purple and white skirt, white ankle length socks, and white sneakers. Fonzy wears a neon green tank top, and black frilly skirt that flies up when he jumps. Rosa is wearing a white tank top with La Virgin de Guadalupe on the front, maroon pants, and white heeled boots.

In NOStalgia POP, Alfonso Cervera, Rosa Rodriguez-Frazier, Irvin Manuel Gonzalez, and Patricia “Patty” Huerta expose “el desmadre” (the messiness) that is their first-generation Mexican American experience with eclectic, multilingual, Latinx aesthetics. Rooted in popular Latiné music, movement, and moments, this multimedia dance work pays homage and cheeky critique to the recuerdos romanticos that link Latine bodies together. The four captivating dancers tell a messy, fruitful, joyful, and painful story of Latine Pop culture and nostalgia.
