Synopsis

A Chicano high-school student struggles with his cyber-identity as well as his “real” identity living within an a traditional and not-so traditional Mexican family structure.  “Coco” becomes enveloped in virtual as well as flesh and blood battles bordering on the surreal, waging war with his own demons and cultural icons. A “cyber-nerd” addicted to the Massive Multiplayer Role Playing Game called “World of Warcraft”, we see him embark on the confusing process of defining his sexual and Latino identity, amid family and school pressures.  Constantly blogging to the audience, he shares his dilema and feelings to his trusted blogosphere.   Living so close to the Mexican border only serves to magnify his inner border.

Gerald Alejandro Ford portrays all the characters in this one-person “cyber” comedy-drama.  Video and still images projected on stage  illuminate the virtual world of gaming and capture the feel of the Southwest.   An array of poignant characters, ranging from the Mexican and Chicano family members to the over-the-top border patrols, are all personified by a versatile Ford using voice, body and witty dialogue.
