From the Waist Down (1999)

by Diana Raznovich  (in English Translation)

“humorously points to the interconnections between sex, capitalism, and militarism.”  (Diane Taylor)

Doors open at 7pm, reading begins at 7:30 pm sharp!

“My style, which is also my unrestrained opinion, is a dangerous mix of humor and distraction; as if upon finding you, I would invite you to go over my work, upon defining me, I would ask you to ‘undefine’ me and once unknown, I would begin to know you”  

Diana Raznovich, Argentine playwright and cartoonist has written a dozen plays characterized by humor, intelligence and unwavering defiance of delimiting social systems.  Raznovich uses her art to critique and transgress social r
estrictions imposed since her coming of age during the time of the Dirty War (1976-83). Raznovich has won prestigious awards the world over, including a Guggenheim in the U.S.
