Political cabaret mostly transpires in Mexico city’s nightlife. Its practitioners are mostly left-leaning queer or queer ally performers who use drag culture to critique of normative gender systems. Dr. Gutiérrez is an Associate Professor in the Performance as Public Practice Program, in Theatre and Dance, at the University of Texas at Austin & Associate Chair of Mexican American and Latina/o Studies.
