Synopsis: | a piece about the power of the individual and its status and voice within an army. The warrior monuments conjured up images of a conveniently homogenized country, Prince talks about his unwillingness to fight for a country that refuses to acknowledge and embrace all its people. The extended metaphor of a warrior and soldier is an effective entry into the broader subject of acceptance and of a society under siege. He follows with a monologue about a married man, on the high jagged edge of despair overlooking the landscape of his life, as he discovers his need to feel like a man. The spoken word poetry is imbued with deeper meaning and a cry out to society to stop the demise of our own doing, and anger at our brothers so deep on the down-low. There is an overwhelming appeal to embrace both yourself and each other, which deeply moved the audience, because we are Hispanic, homosexual, disabled, empowered. | |||||
