Take precautions! #WearAMask #SocialDistance #WashYourHands #NoeMontoya #Repost @elteatrocampesino with @make_repost It is with immense sadness that we share the incredible news that our Chicano maestro in the struggle, brother Noe Montoya, has tragically succumbed to the coronavirus. To all of his extended family in El Teatro Campesino, bereft of a beloved fifty-year member, his shocking loss is incalculable and beyond belief. The Covid 19 pandemic has been merciless to an extreme, especially among farm workers, so it comes as no surprise that despite the risk, Noe did his utmost to alleviate the suffering of our fellow campesinos, continuing to make appearances to sing at car caravans organized to raise food for the workers. His great heart was always at the core of his humanity and commitment to our community. But as an artist, he was the blood and bone of El Teatro, having joined the company as a teenage recruit in 1971. During the ensuing half century, he matured into our maestro of indigenous music, in addition to his many roles on stage, video and film as a vital core company actor. One of his first roles in 1972 was that of Tonatiuh, the Aztec Sun, as he majestically rose behind a pyramid in our first television special in Los Angeles. From the 1970s to 2008, he often reprised the role of Juan Diego in our biennial production of La Virgen del Tepeyac at Old Mission San Juan Bautista. His last role was just last year, before the pandemic hit, as Benito Juarez in the world premiere of “Adios Mama Carlota” at San Jose Stage. In keeping with his artistry and wisdom with respect to our indigenous heritage, we acknowledge that Maestro Noe has now become like the Eagle Sun of our Mayan ancestors, setting on the horizon only to become the Jaguar Night Sun in his journey across the stars. It is with faith and hope in the Universal Creator that we celebrate his trajectory through the cosmos, and look forward to the inevitable sun rise again.
