"In one hour of drag, clown, and desperation, Señor Babyhead presents his Día de Muertos Especial. It's a journey across the Sonoran Desert in which Babyhead encounters artifacts, mirages, and spirits. Who is Señor Babyhead? Only Mexico's most (washed up) famous sitcom star, desperate to stay relevant and avoid becoming an artifact, himself."
"As a queer Chicana, she creates work that celebrates and interrogates the Mexican-American experience, from the grief of diaspora and to the awkward hassle of Otherness. Analisa is autistic, which gives her a perspective neurotypicals often call 'unique'- which she decodes to mean 'unintentionally weird.'"
