Carmelita Tropicana 2026 Obie Lifetime Achievement Award
Notes:
“As a writer and performer, I have straddled the worlds of performance art and theater. I use irreverent humor and fantasy as subversive tools to challenge cultural stereotypes and rewrite history from multiple perspectives. By performing hyperbolic feminine and masculine personas, as well as numerous animals, insects, and fantasy creatures, I challenge historical and narrative authority. My work addresses political issues and looks at the intersections that exist between ethnicity, sexuality, gender, race and class.”
