La Mamutcandungo
La Mamutcandungo was a multimedia performance based on the novel La Novelabingo (1976) by Neo-Avant-Garde Puerto Rican writer Manuel Ramos Otero. In its different iterations (a solo piece, an ensemble performance or as an experimental film) Mamutcandungo explores the narrative “non-sense” and the irreverent queer optics of the author, by the attempt to map an island/novel at the mercy of hazard and misfortune.
La Mamutcandungo es un performance multi-media basado en La Novelabingo (1976) del
escritor neo-vanguardista puertorriqueño
Manuel Ramos Otero.
A manera de reescritura escénica Lamamut-
candungo, tanto en versión unipersonal
como en formato grupal celebra la
narrativa del sin-sentido y la
poética cuir e irreverente del
autor que intenta rescatar
sin éxito una isla/novela
a la merced del azar
y la desventura.
