De Diario De Los Luchadores
In the style of a telenovela (or cartoon for adults/drunks) comes the story of two wrestlers – their loves, their passions and their tights. Cielito Lindo and Dirty Sanchez star in DE DIARIO DE LOS LUCHADORES, Mexico’s greatest story never told … until now. Mujeres picantes, hombres calientes, mariachi, the Virgen de Guadalupe, and mucho, mucho mas.
Written by Piso Mojado and directed by Kerri Rambow.
DE DIARIO benefits Ayuda.

Hemispheric Dysfunctionalism and the Cortical Titanic

The latest from Michael Merino:

Hemispheric Dysfunctionalism and the Cortical Titanic is a multidisciplinary performance piece that addresses the dichotomy between perception and cognition and the structures by which information is disseminated and interpreted. Using the incident of the Titanic's maiden voyage, the work explores the themes of intellectual and technological achievements and the foibles of the species.

With the ship itself as a metaphor for the damaged brain, the story illustrates the fragility of the human condition and the vainglorious attempts to subject nature, to surpass the deity, and to defy common sense. The work involves a large ensemble, musicians performing period-inspired music, vocalists and dancers.
