Walker Commission
“A dense, audacious and wickedly funny work that … contains multitudes and unflinchingly bears their weight.” —New York Times
Movement artist Miguel Gutierrez’s second Walker commission provocatively investigates identity politics, Latinx clichés, and Western concepts of form, drawing from (in part) the influences of the groundbreaking 1981 feminist anthology This Bridge Called My Back: Writings by Radical Women of Color. Gutierrez and five diverse Latinx performers amplify stereotypes to move past respectability politics within an unstable environment of bodies, light, sound, and text (in Spanish, with surtitles). The chaotic, playfully erotic production concludes with an over-the-top version of an absurdist telenovela.
Contains nudity and sexual content. Please note: there is no late seating.
Program length: 90 minutes.
