Drama. Spoken Word. CD format. Music composed by Guillermo Galindo. Cameos by Juan Ybarra, Randall Wong, Amy X Neuburg, Jennifer Ashworth and others. "Forget the preachers and the soothsayers. When Califonia slides into the Mexican ocean, put Gomez-Pena and Galindo on your speed dial. Gomez-Pena speaks, shouts, whispers and gushes in forked and curled tongues, a Nostradamus-Walter Mercado replicant who prays to Santa Selena and wears "Don't Worry, Be Hopi" t-shirts. Galindo surrounds him in cut-up sound clouds of opera, speed metal, and urban noise-a jagged electro-ambience that converts the Hotel California into "la mansion de la muerte." These are chants for ethnic robots, rituals for post-millennial Mexicans, and balms for the identity beleaguered"--Josh Kun. The script for "Apocalypse Manana" was also adapted for the stage by Gomez-Pena and City Lights editor Elaine Katzenberger.
