Performance Piece Explores Culture of Border Region

Sonoran Strange raises questions about life in along the U.S.-Mexico borderlands; piece includes video projection; bilingual performance art.

Sonoran Strange is the title of a new collaborative performance piece by Logan Phillips and Adam Cooper Terán.

The piece includes video projection, bilingual spoken word and performance art.

Phillips said Sonoran Strange is an expression of the unique cultural landscape of Southern Arizona.

“Sonoran Strange is a collection of poems,” Phillips said. "Sometimes when we limit ourselves to words we might lose the other ways of knowing the world around us...so we try to get at a combination of all those things.”
