Tribes; Corpo/Ilicito
Tribes: the unified field Written and Choreographed by
Sara Shelton Mann
Corpo/Ilicito: The Post-Human Society 6.9 Written and
Directed by Guillermo Gómez-Peña
This double bill features original pieces by Granada
Artists-in-Residence.
Sara Shelton Mann’s Tribes: the unified field is a
journey into the past and future fluctuating between verbal and
non-verbal language. It explores the spiritual basis of human
origin beyond cultural differences.
Guillermo Gómez-Peña says, “Corpo/Ilicito : The
Post-Human Society 6.9 explores both the legacy of
fear of the Other — the criminalization of the brown body
inherited by the Bush administration — and the emerging
culture of hope, imagination and faith that has developed in
response to the former world order. It tackles this historic
moment of dramatic reinvention by looking into the immediate
past and attempting to manifest a possible future without
resorting to quick fixes and false hopes as co-directed by the
audience”.
Guillermo Gómez-Peña is a performance artist/writer and the
director of the art collective La Pocha Nostra.
