Strange Democracy: An Evening with Gu...Description
MacArthur Fellow, post-Mexican writer, and border artist Guillermo Gomez-Pena uses acid Chicano humor, hybrid literary genres, multilingualism, and activist theory as subversive strategies. Described by renowned theatre director Peter Sellars as one of the handful of great performance artists in America today, Gomez-Pena creates spoken-word works that defy description. Critics have called it Chicano cyber-punk performance,ethno-techno art, and magnificent, melodramatic, robustly hilarious, and precisely, exquisitely witty. A reception and book signing will follow the performance. Sponsored by the Middlebury College Performing Arts Series, Dance Program, the Office of the Dean of the College, the Center for Campus Activities and Leadership, the Committee on the Arts, the Academic Enrichment Fund, and the Rohatyn Center for International Affairs.
