Legendary queer performance artists Marga Gomez and Tim Miller take the stage at USC this week with O SOLO HOMO, a performance of selections of their work. Gomez is a founding member of Culture Clash, and Miller was one of the NEA Four.*

Following the performance, Gomez and Miller will be joined by USC professors David Román and Luis Alfaro for a conversation on queer identities and culture over the last quarter century. Román is the author of Acts of Intervention: Performance, Gay Culture, and AIDS, and the co-editor (with Holly Hughes) of the omnibus O Solo Homo: The New Queer Performance (both 1998). Alfaro is a writer, activist, and creator of such theater works as Electricidad at the Mark Taper Forum, and Oedipus El Rey at Boston Court in Pasadena.
