Summary/Abstract: A text devoted to Jesus Rodríguez – the most well-known performer and artist in Mexico. Her work is quite multi-faceted: “Apart from directing, writing for theater, playing on stage, and set design, Rodríguez also organizes demonstrations against the Catholic Church […] and anti-government protests.” Stępniak then outlines the attributes of the work of the Mexican artist, describing and analyzing her solo performance entitled Diálogos entre Darwin y Dios, combining aspects of Berlin cabaret, vaudeville, academic lectures and a subversively modified drag queen show.
