Guillermo Gómez-Peña | The Pandemia Chronicles
In "The Pandemia Chronicles," Gómez-Peña presents his most recent performance texts from the past two years combined with classic work from his living archives. Utilizing a casino roulette spinner to select his spoken word texts and props live, he is unplugged, thinking out loud and articulating the challenges and possibilities of reinvention during confinement and in the midst of multiple pandemics. This evening also features a performance by La Pocha Nostra senior member Balitrónica Gómez.
