La Pocha Nostra presents The Mex Files: A Divination Ritual, a spoken-word duet & “live-action juke-box” by Guillermo Gómez-Peña, Balitrónica, with special guest DJ Perry Vasquez. La Pocha Nostra is thrilled to present excerpts from their most recent performance manuscripts and bank of ritual actions. Utilizing a casino roulette and several tarot decks, Balitronica utilizes various forms of oracular magic to select spoken word texts and props for Gómez-Peña’s live performance. The fate of the script and the performance are determined by methods of divination, chance, and direct contact with the spirits that be. In this new project, the artists are unplugged, thinking out loud and articulating the challenges and possibilities of reinvention in the midst of multiple pandemics & the spiritual world crises. The performance includes new texts written during the past two years combined with “classics” from Gómez-Peña’s own living archives.
