LA ANGRY XICANA?!
LA ANGRY XICANA?!
Written & Performed by Adelina Anthony
Adelina's new, full-length stand-up comedy features her trademark
salacious, brazen, Spanglish humor and flirts with all kinds of
cultural taboos. "La Angry Xicana?!" weaves together critiques on
Hollywood, the U.S. corporate media, purported lesbian gang epidemics,
The L Word, conservative politics, LGBT community health issues,
religious icons, post-welfare life, and the semi-sacred courtship that
happens only among queer womyn of color. As in other works, the show
commits to positioning lesbian Xicana/Latinas as the ideal viewership
and operates from a queer/feminist/indigenous critical lens. In
Adelina's relentless commitment to blur genre boundaries, she couches
this solo work in the stand-up comedy genre, but decidedly infuses it with
moments of high theatricality and also relies on the oral tradition of
storytelling for maximum effect. More importantly, using comedy as a
weapon of choice, the show examines possible sources of contemporary
and historical anger among womyn of color. (Oh, and people, she's
really not angry… she's just getting even!)
