Corpo/Ilicito: The Post-Human Society 6.9
Labeled as the most influential Latino experimental arts troupe in the past 10 years, la Pocha Nostra continues to surprise audiences throughout the world with their shocking interactive ritual performances questioning power relations and the criminalization of the brown body.

In their latest project, la Pocha creates a performance setting that is both live jam session and reflective zone. The full environment experience ultimately allows the audience to co-direct the fate of the performance by incorporating symbolically charged actions and imagery to those of the artists.

Corpo/Ilicito premiered at the 2009 La Habana Biennale (Cuba) and at Trouble Festival (Brussells). Other versions have been performed at El Arte es Accin Festival (Madrid), PRISMA  (Oaxaca) and the Three Rivers Art Festival (Pittsburgh).

Gomez-Pea has said about this project: As live artists, our task is to create living metaphors that articulate a new aesthetic, culture, spirituality and a sexuality that emerge out of the ruins of our Western civilization.

Using the human body as a site for political reinvention and poetic prophesying, La Pocha explores both the legacy of fear of the Other -- the criminalization of the brown body inherited by the Bush administration, and the emerging culture of hope, imagination and faith that has developed in response to the former world order. The resulting performance tackles this historic moment of dramatic reinvention by looking into the immediate past and attempting to manifest a possible future without resorting to quick fixes and false hopes.
