Tonight @ The Paper Heart and Counter Culture Cafe

Starting at 8pm
February 25 thru Monday - February 26 
 
 
2 DAY FESTIVAL OF THEATRE AND PERFORMANCE ART
http://www.timb.org
We are dedicated to work that addresses where we are geographically and philosophically, and are interested in investigating the places where these intersect on a mutually determined glocal table/playing field. As a collective, we are already born with many tongues, and some of us have two or three, which makes speech difficult but entirely possible. We are developing a style of performance that speaks to bilingual (and multilingual) audiences, utilizing subaltern, alternative modes of presentation, technologically and philosophically reconfiguring the dna of a post-consumer idea of a thought of a notion. We do not dance.



FIRE AND ASHES MONTH!!
CENIZAS and DESEO the Paper Heart February 25 & 26th
CENIZAS, February 25th: multimedia performance en espanol
DESEO, February 26th: mutlimedia performance en vivo

We just performed CENIZAS at No Passport (Dreaming the Americas: Diversity and Difference in Performance) at CUNY February 3rd and DESEO at the PVCC X-Fest February 10th, so we're in shape for this...this will be the last chance to see these for awhile, so bring friends and take pictures.

Also note that my knee is swollen ridiculously, and can be seen totally nude in these shows. Warn the children.

Another more important note: now that the state language is being changed from Apache to Texan English, we are performing these works in Spanish and a little bit of ingles (pero no como el arbusto presidente, el hombre mas inarticulado en la historia de pseudo-Tejanos). Please tell your friends, and anyone interested in seeing work en espanol here. There are a few groups in the state, Teatro Bravo and Borderlands among others, who do this work, so it's very important to support these efforts with physical presence. I am told that I don't really speak Spanish anyway, so I don't count, pero ni modo, aqui estamos en un momento muy importante en la historia del suroeste, y por eso, vamos a luchar en la manera que sabemos, en performance. Y mas, en el futuro, nos preguntamos si otros lenguas seran ilegal aqui, como Aleman, o Hopi, o Navajo, o Cocopah, y estoy muy confundido por que no tengo antepasados de inglaterra, entonces, por que es necesario para mi a hablar en ingles, y solamente ingles? huyyyyy, que raro, pero ven ven ven por favor, y ver que hay algo pasando aqui en este desierto, ok ok?

mistaken identity!

has anyone in here ever been mistaken as something other than the kind of brown they are? or even some other part of the world entirely? :)

por ejemplo: i've gotten hispanic, egyptian and of course indian, when i'm from bangladesh.

(no subject)

hi, no one has updated this thing for a long while.
other than that um native american kid.. :)

anyhow.

since this is a brown community,

what is your favorite thing about being brown?


mine would be that i get mistaken as a terrorist, yesss.

i realize its a lame question, but shush. better than no updates at all, sorta.
