Una identidad en absurdo Vol. 1 (2011)

A (de)construction by Guillermo Gómez Álvarez

Cast

Alfredo Carrasquillo, Carlos Pabón

Overview

Guillermo Gómez Álvarez explores the identity politics of Puerto Rico via archival footage from various sources that clash with nine original songs from local independent musicians and a thematic analysis from a psychoanalyst and a historian. From the juxtaposition the absurd becomes coherent and the coherent becomes absurd as Puerto Rican identity is defined and rejected almost simultaneously.
