Gomez-Pena Unplugged is an anthology of recent and rewritten
classic writings from Guillermo Gomez-Pena, a figure who stands
alone as unique and ground-breaking in the history of performance
art and as the artistic director of transdisciplinary performance
troupe La Pocha Nostra. Throughout this collection, Gomez-Pena
tackles literature, theory, pedagogy, activism and live art in an
eclectic mix that demonstrates how the process of writing is
simultaneously a performative exercise in embodied language. The
writing stands as a call for action, utilizing what Gomez-Pena
terms "imaginary activism" and "radical citizenship"; it invites
the reader to embrace a borderless, polygendered, crossgenerational
and race-literate ethos. This timely anthology comes straight from
the heart of a troubled Trump-era United States and a crime
cartel-ridden Mexico. Artists and writers are prompted to engage in
radical performance pedagogy within the civic realm and to think of
themselves as public intellectuals and "artivists" participating in
the great debates of our times. By encouraging emerging artists and
writers to wildly imagine their practice beyond the normative art
world and academia, this book is a fundamental read for scholars
and students of performance art, political theatre, cultural
studies, literature, poetry, activism and race and gender politics.
