Quarterly performance series Cochineala, held along the river in Confluence Park, is named after the cochineal, a small insect that lives on prickly pear cacti.
The cochineal produces carminic acid, which is used in making the bright red food and garment dye carmine.
Cochineala: Bioluminescence explores the wonders of bioluminescent organisms with an illuminated firefly performance, interactive art exhibitions and educational presentations — all intended to combine the worlds of art and the natural sciences to encourage engagement and conservation. The night will wrap up with the presentation of Lights In Play, a performance by members of the URBAN-15 dance and creative troupe.Since 1986, the SA Current has served as the free, independent voice of San Antonio, and we want to keep it that way.
