DESCRIPTION:“He's one of the handful of great performance artists in Amer
 ica today.” – Peter Sellars\n\n\n\n'His award-winning solos combine la
 nguages Spanish\, English\, Spanglish\, Ingleñol\, Nahuatl\, wild theatri
 cs and guerrilla satire to convey a new internationalism\, a borderless et
 hos.' – Jan Breslauer\, L.A. Times\n\n\n\n'Gómez-Peña is magnificent\,
  melodramatic\, robustly hilarious and precisely\, exquisitely witty...I e
 merge from his performances somewhat dazed...' – Lucy Lippard\n\n\n\n'G�
 �mez-Peña is a wizard of language.' – The Chicago Tribune\n\n\n\nIn his
  new solo-performance\, post-Mexican writer and performance artist Guiller
 mo Gómez-Peña deals with the end of the Bush era and articulates the for
 midable challenges facing Obama. He also denounces the anti-immigration hy
 steria and assaults the demonized construction of the US/Mexican border—
 a literal and symbolic zone lined with Minute Men\, rising nativism\, thre
 e-ply fences\, globalization\, and transnational identities.\n\n\n\nTo thi
 s effect\, the 'border artist extraordinaire' uses acid Chicano humor\, hy
 brid literary genres\, multilingualism\, and activist theory as subversive
  strategies. Shifting between languages\, Gómez-Peña morphs into various
  performance personae and bombards audiences with his infamous\, border sa
 vvy techno-ideology\, ethno-poetics and radical aesthetics. In this journe
 y to the geographical and psychological outposts of Chicanismo\, Gómez-Pe
 ña also reflects on identity\, race\, sexuality\, pop culture\, politics 
 and the impact of new technologies in the post-911 era.\n\n\n\nALL HAMMER
