El Teatro Campesino will close its production of a new solo work by Rubén C. González whose two previous works, DIARY OF A MAD MEXICAN (1999) and THE MESSIAH COMPLEX (2003), on May 2nd.
González' work has been called, "Angry, hilarious and bittersweet," in a LA Weekly article and "Not only do we marvel at an actor's ability to change character but we also reflect on them," from the Dallas Morning Star Telegram.Gonzalez's final installment of the Mad Mexican solo performances is newly written ‘LA ESQUINITA, USA'. This time around he is not so mad and the world is better for it. Now, the Zen Mexican takes us on a passage through a once booming black and brown town LA ESQUINITA, USA but now forgotten like so many others. This story is told by the omniscient narrator LENCHO and experienced through the eyes of DANIEL, a young man who is at the peek of his Crystal Meth high while standing at the threshold between Light and Darkness.Videos
