- Summary:
- Founded in 1993 in Los Angeles, La Pocha Nostra (LPN) is Guillermo Gómez-Peña's (Mexico City, 1955) ultimate and most long-standing art project. LPN performance work mixes experimental aesthetics, activist politics and Spanglish humor from a border perspective in what critics have described as "Chicano cyber-punk performances. "When you don't have access to power, poetry replaces science, and performance art becomes politics. Language your poems; sing them out loud; embody them in dance; and perform them at a neighborhood taco truck. Play with voices; let your voice take on a demon, an angel, a little, a giant, a warrior, the wind, La Llorona, La Muerte, La Putona, El Loco, El Gringo Borracho, etc. Create rituals using the text in highly charged spaces like the border wall, or our dwindling forests, or in front of ICE offices, or on the bathroom mirror of your disgruntled relative living in your house still in self-imposed confinement This is a a brief antología de borderismos, poemas, libretos, T-shirts, canciones, bad jokes and instructions for a psychomagic performance; graffiti your hood with your favorite phrases or enlarge a graphic and post it on the wall of a public bathroom or your local church." --Publisher.
