{ from Peruvian artist, not yet identified, found in Cafe Macondo in Cusco, Peru } It’s one of those weird + telling synchronicities that the Oiligarchy named its well in the Gulf “Macondo Prospect”, which happens to be “a fictional town described in Gabriel García Márquez’s novel One Hundred Years of Solitude.

{ circus charivari just “outside the fences” of Btropolis } In all seriousness ; ) if DIY theater could be codified into a wide-spread social outbreak, could the escape hatch of art then become an uncontainable leak of the irrational psyche in action?
