In this original, one-man show, a Chicano high school student struggles with his cyber-identity as well as his “real” identity living within a traditional and not-so traditional Mexican family.  A “cyber-nerd” addicted to World of Warcraft, Seattle performer Gerald Alejandro Ford — who plays an array of poignant characters ranging from Mexican family members to over-the-top border patrols — embarks on the confusing process of defining his identity amid family and school pressures, waging war with his own demons and cultural icons. Recommended for ages 12 and older. English.

Part of Miracle Theatre Group’s 2012 La Luna Nueva Festival.
