DIXON PLACE

April 27 2016

The PEN American Center is devoted to advancing free expression in literature and theatre and providing advocacy and financial support for writers internationally. As part of the PEN World Voices Festival, founded by Salman Rushdie and held since 2005, a group of acclaimed Mexican and Mexican-American authors and playwrights offer “Mexico in Two Acts,” a lecture and panel discussion “designed to expose hidden cultural and political realities.” The playwright Sabina Berman presents the first act, in which speakers discuss the country’s socioeconomic and cultural state; in Act II, the Spanish-language authors Jennifer Clement, Claudio Lomnitz, Pedro Ángel Palou, and Marcela Turati respond to the ideas of Act I.
