A brand new, spoken word monologue by el Mad Mex Chicano performance artist, writer, activist, and educator Guillermo Gómez-Peña, aka "El border brujo," draws from his 30-year archive to present a unique perspective on the future of the Americas. He invokes performance art as a form of radical democracy and citizenship.

Combining spoken word poetry, activist theory, radical storytelling, and language experimentation, Gómez-Peña comments on the art world, academia, new technologies, war and violence in the U.S., organized crime in Mexico, gender and race politics, and complications surrounding gentrification.
