I Was the Voice of Democracy at National Hispanic Cultural Center

Through autobiographical storytelling, this one-man show offers a mix of analysis and anecdote (both hilarious and heartbreaking) as Herrera puzzles through the memories, mementos and artifacts comprising the archive of his own teenage experience. By turns comedic and contemplative (and told in style that is equal parts David Sedaris and Spalding Gray), Brian Herrera’s “I Was the Voice of Democracy” asks whether we ever really stop being the person we once were.
