Multi-talented Migguel Anggelo brings LatinXoxo to Joe’s Pub Under the Radar Festival for three performances on January12, 15 and 17. The show is conceived by Migguel Anggelo, with a book by Julian Jiménez, musical direction by Jaime Lozano and direction by Adrian Alexander Alea. Performance is in English and Spanish.
The show is Angggelo;s nonconforming and self-accepting rallying cry: a break from “Latin Lover” cliches and his own Venezeulan father’s gendered expectations. Weaving in and out of the audience, the artist connects past and present while unraveling the stereotypes that would otherwise constrain him. LatinXoXo was designed to immerse an audience in a highly personal story. It is an artful collage of theater, queer comedy, physical movement, and sumptuous song selections. The musical repertoire spans decades of pop hits, his own original compositions, and the Spanish boleros that defined his youth.
Anggelo is a Venezuelan-American singer-songwriter, multidisciplinary performing artist and countertenor, dancer, actor and painter. His work explores the intersections of his queer, Latino and immigrant identities using music, physical theater, dance, text and costume. As a theater creator, he has been awarded residencies to develop new works at MASS MoCA, the Kimmel Center, the Miami Light Project and beyond.
