Ricardo A. Bracho is a queer Chicano Marxist playwright from Los Angeles whose theatrical works dramatize the lives of gay Black and Brown partisans of anti-capitalism and decolonization. Characterized by their playful use of theory, Bracho's plays utilize the stage as a place for characters to debate questions of sexual and political liberation. Though Bracho's work has been breaking ground within the experimental Latinx theater and arts community since the 1990s, his plays have not been widely accessible beyond their staging. Driven by passion-for politics, for the dancefloor, for dispossessed bodies, communities, and lands-Bracho's award-winning plays express a polyphony of outlaw voices and contemporary dramas. With a foreword by Bracho's teacher and iconic Chicana writer CherrIe Moraga, an afterword by Juana Maria Rodriguez, as well as critical notes and an introduction by editors Jennifer Ponce de Leon, Richard T. Rodriguez, and Randall Williams, Puto makes Bracho's key works available to a broader public for the first time, bringing Bracho's frank, transgressive, and revolutionary work to the forefront just when the world needs it most.
