The VORTEX presents
Footnotes for People Who Don’t Speak Spanish
Written by Rudy Ramirez | Apr.08-10, 2011 at 8pm; Friday-Sunday for 3 nights only
Performed by Rudy Ramirez and Beliza Torres Narvaez
Do
you feel sad? Are you looking for natural male enhancement? Still
trying to shed those last 20 pounds? You just might need a prescription
for LATINOL(tm), guaranteed to offer you a 100% authentic Latino
experience. Or you might want to sit down and watch a queer Chicano
figure out how to deal with the mission he was assigned at birth:
to infiltrate white culture and aid his people in their struggle
for equality! With the help of a Puerto Rican secret agent and two
Mexican grandmothers, he navigates through a world of Harry Potter,
Jem and the Holograms and Sound of Music references to find a way
to be an artist, a radical, a big ol' queen and a credit to his
people (hint: plus-size vintage gowns help). Possible side effects
may include laughter, political insight, the occasional sniffle,
and drymouth.
This production was written by and stars Rudy Ramirez (Promised Land; A Radical Queer Revival) and features Beliza Torres Narvaez (Resabios de Amargura/The Bitter Cabaret).
Fresh from a successful run at the Cohen New Works Festival at the University of Texas, Rudy Ramirez brings his new show home to The VORTEX for 3 nights only.
Tickets: Sliding Scale $10-$25
