Pornocracy by Jon Bastian

Stalin. Hitler. Manson. Amateurs…Tenth Century Rome, a time when most women are property or prostitutes, except for Marozia – lover of one Pope, mother of another, she would have been ruler of the world except for the one person she could not control: The son she did not make Pope. Pornocracy is a dark comedic tale in verse of a very dysfunctional family, for whom betrayal and murder are the norm, and incest, cannibalism and parricide are not unheard of. Grand Guignol, puppets, the World Cup, and comedy high and low all come together and it’s fun for the whole family – if the family name is Borgia.

Ser by Karen Anzoategui

This story is told through the politics of a soccer game, utilized as a vehicle to understand Argentine and US politics and society.  Landing in Los Angeles, this Argentine girl grows up in two different worlds, North America and South America.  In Los Angeles, the cultural rivalry that exists between different Latino countries, specifically Argentina and Mexico, are put to play.  This serious look at all worlds is balanced by the comedy of Karen’s family life.  Throughout her journey, she is visited by James Brown, her mother in mid-flight back to Argentina, and her two brothers who are always on the way to a soccer game, like a pilgrimage to the soccer God, Diego Maradona.  Eventually, Karen must face the difficulty of having to decide who to root for, while fighting for her rights on all sides of the game. Just as Karen is a spectator of the games, Ser asks it’s audience to be a spectator in Karen’s wild and politically charged world.
