ADELINA ANTHONY'S: LA CHISMOSA!!!

Directed by D'Lo
The final set in this comedic triptych brings the cycle full circle as Adelina takes up even more hilarious stereotypes and even creates new ones! Among its many themes, La Chismosa!!! interweaves migratory border issues, the juxtaposition of Xicana-Indigeneity with pop culture, Facebook chisme, single motherhood, intra-cultural dialogues around in-fighting and tokenism, mental issues for Xicanas who may be a wee bit paranoid (who’s talking about me?!)… and, as always, a provocative look at sexuality through her character's zany perspective(s). Who knew making the return to Coatlicue could be so much work, I mean, fun!
