Event Information

 * Name: Pa'Lante
 * Performer: Mondongo Scam Is a solo theater piece that deals with stereotypes of all kinds. Its a brief description of the lives of so many people living and working in the United States and their struggles for survival. Mondongo Scam is a monologue about the possible personality changes due to the needed use of another individual's personal documents. It travels from different decades in the past to the present, interweaving nationalities, genres, places, ages, verbs and spirits. The action takes place in a court room where an immigrant Latino worker it's on trial for using social security cards and other documents of deseaced U.S. citizens.
 * Description: Pa'Lante is a five college pan-latino student event that is held every year. Persons identifying as Latino from all of the five-college schools are expected to be coming to this event since it is held only once a year. All of the five schools latino groups plan and help fund the event. The plan is that part of the day there will be a performer coming to one of the five schools, most likely UMass, to hold a show, a dinner, and a dance party.
