Written and performed by Guillermo Gómez-Peña, Border Brujo is a ritual-linguistic journey across the U.S./Mexico border. As a cross-cultural shaman, Gómez-Peña shifts into 15 different personas, each speaking a different language. These personas symbolize the borders between North and South, Anglo and Latino, myth and reality, legality and illegality, and art and life. The work assaults and exorcises the demons of dominant cultures, articulating fear, desire, trauma sublimation, anger, and misplacement while embodying ruptured and defiant communities with multilingual dexterity and humor.
