This performance is part of Guillermo Gomez-Peña’s month ­long residency made possible by 18th Street Arts Center.

La Pocha Nostra presents the US premiere of Five Psycho-Magic Actions Against Violence In this brand new piece La Pocha Nostra offers a vivid new iconography in response to the dreams and nightmares of our current times. Through a series of daring posmo-shamanic actions, the artists depict a transgressive re-imagining of our current reality and show how radical tenderness can be the powerful tool against extreme conservatism, violence, merciless corporate power, social media narcissism, hipster cultural sameness/gentrification, and intolerance to difference. As in all LPN performances audience members are invited by the artists to participate in this on-site performance experiment. Versions of this performance have been presented in Brazil, Spain, Greece, Mexico and Peru.
