I was very intrigued by the idea in Stuff that the Latin women are in turn eating their conquerors, that they too are being fed. Is this desire for transformative physical encounters inherent to all of us? Where is the allure in such experiences and how might we harness that appeal productively? Is that even possible?
Arrizon's article placed a lot of emphasis on the one-woman show as a unique tool in Chicano culture, but the mechanics of why this spectacle was so effective were never fully spelled out for me. What is it about a one-woman show compared to say Moraga's play (which still features almost all women) that "undermines patriarchal society" so much more effectively?
