Papo Colo

THERE IS NO PLACE LIKE HOM

A Performance in Two Parts
March 22, 2006 Loma De Los Vientos, San Juan, Puerto Rico
May 29, 2006 Bajamar, San Juan, Puerto Rico

Colo takes a ritualistic response to Puerto Rico’s disconnection to the United States due to Puerto Rico’s commonwealth status. He also represents Puerto Rico’s political parties’ struggle that wavers between wanting to be identified culturally as an independent state, yet politically confined to its commonwealth state.

LA DIFERENCIA

This is a collection of earlier Papo Colo solo performances starting from the late 70’s. Including the 1977 historical endurance performance Superman, which Colo runs and drags 51 lumber wood sticks tied to his body on the New York City West Side Highway until exhausted.
