SUMMARY:Palabra Pura with Rey Andújar\, Jorge Frisancho and Juan Dicent (Bilingual Poetry)
DESCRIPTION:Palabra Pura continues its 2012 season with its first guest-curator evening with open mic and featured readers. Tonight’s theme: Mutant Body/Cuerpo Migrante. The evening will present the body as a space for multiple questions related to the state of transition. What does the body leave behind in its translation/transfer? What does it acquire or adapt? In this sense language is an element that determines more than its sensory definition. \nCurator Rey Andújar (Santo Domingo 1977) has published narratives and works of theater since 2005. He studies within a laboratory that investigates the Dramaturgy of the Body. He currently lives in Chicago. \nFEATURED POETS\n\nJuan Dicent (a.k.a. Dino Bonao). This poet\, born in the Dominican Republic and located now in New York City\, maintains a hybrid body of written text addressing the concept of nationality through a Bilingual Performance that draws upon an interesting collection of socio-anthropological notes. Other works include: Happy New Year to You (Pequeñas Resistencias 4. Antología del nuevo cuento norteamericano y caribeño. Páginas de Espuma\, Spain\, 2005); Summertime (Editorial Shampoo\, Dom Rep\, 2006; Santiago Arcos Editor\, Argentina\, 2007; Editorial Universos\, Spain 2010); Poeta en Animal Planet (Editorial Vox\, Argentina 2007); My Uncle’s First Jeans (Textos de Cartón\, Argentina 2009); Monday Street (Editorial Cara de Cuis\, Argentina 2011). visit: www.blogworkorange.blogspot.com  and  www.podworkorange.com \nThe poetry of Jorge Frisancho navigates within the posture of the body in terms of its metaphysical character. His book Estudios sobre un cuerpo (Studies of a Body) explores the possibility of body-to-body journeys. The lyric structure of this poet\, who was born in Barcelona\, raised in Peru\, and who has lived in Chicago for some years\, is generous in its speech and extensive in its embrace; it denotes the body as a space for conflicts and opposing forces. \n
