Guillermo Gómez-Peña, the performance artist, writer, activist, radical pedagogue, and artistic director of the troupe La Pocha Nostra brings us a new solo performance keynote.
Created in lockdown, this performance combines theory, poetry, and performance texts in the wake of the Trump administration and under the throes of multiple pandemics. Throughout his life, Gómez-Peña has been working in audio art across multiple genres, from poetic journalism and Spanglish spoken word to radical storytelling. This ongoing performance will present samples of previous work and brand-new material written and created during lockdown.
