The program comprises eleven performances by artists from Utah, Texas, and Mexico. Corriente Alterna is committed to advancing the visibility of innovative artists from Mexico and Mexican and Latin American descendants.

A Poc A Poc dance company directed by choreographer Jaime Camarena and Porta Teatro, a theatre company directed by playwright, director, and actor Itzhel Razo will travel from Mexico City to present their productions, Primer Amor (A Poc A Poc) and Wilma (Porta Teatro). Among other USA artists, the platform will present Chac Mool by Jorge Rojas (Utah), and Lengua by José Villalobos (Texas), both visual and performance art practitioners.

Corriente Alterna is possible thanks to the support of Creative West, the Utah Division of Arts & Museums, the Salt Lake City Arts Council, Springville Museum of Art, RDT Link Series program, and Mexico's Cultural Creation and Projects Support System by Mexico’s Culture Ministry.
