Seis Manos (Six Hands) is a show that takes a moment or two to find its rhythm, but once it does it bangs that drum relentlessly, quickening its tempo to a climactic and explosive resolution. There’s no doubt it has a rocky start with a mess of ideas, but what’s so impressive is how this mess comes together soon enough to create a clever, cohesive, and dynamic story that leaves a lasting impression.
Taking place in the idyllic, sleepy Mexican town of San Simon, a young Aladdin-esque orphan boy named Domingo steals a peach, runs from the police, and ends up in a Chinese Daoist Kung Fu school. It’s a weird opening, to be sure, full of questions and contrivances. And that’s only the beginning of the problems that initially plague Seis Manos. From here we’re bombarded with lifeless exposition concerning three more orphans – Silencio, Isabella, and Jesus – the students of the martial arts school and our three protagonists. Through Domingo’s eyes we meet them, learn their personalities (which are dangerously uninspired at first) and are also introduced to their master, the Daoist martial arts master Chiu.
