This
time, Chicanonautica, over at La Bloga, is a post-apocalyptic Happy
New Year concerning what I'm going do as a Chicano writer living in
Arizona in 2013.
For our
video extras, I'm presenting the work of some other Latino artists,
with suitable surreal and sci-fi overtones.
First,
let me recommend Misterio en las Bermudas,
one of the most incredible end-of-the-world movies ever. It also has
Mil Máscaras, Santo, Blue Demon, Atlantis, alien forces, and the
Bermuda triangle. The plot is so convoluted that I'll have to see it
again, and write about it later . . .
Meanwhile,
in post-Katrina New Orleans, José Torres-Tama creates performance
art out of a new Latino experience that's stanger than a lot of
fantasies of disaster-ridden futures:
Here
in Arizona, El Moises is creating fantastic murals that appear in a
commercial for the state lottery:
And
for some brain-slamming reading, here's Guillermo Gómez-Peña On illness, the human body, performance & quantum physics:
“People
tell me this storyline is no longer science fiction; it’s the way
most people relate to the world nowadays.”
Hang
onto your somberos, it's gonna be a wild ride!
