Serva Pool Flux: The Museum of Señor Babyhead

The Museum of Señor Babyhead is an installation and immersive physical theater performance, part of Holland Project’s Serva Pool Flux exhibition series. The gallery will be filled with pâpier-maché “artifacts”– reproductions of items found in the Sonoran Desert (water bottles, broken rosaries, the skulls of hawks and goats). In the live show, Señor Babyhead reenacts his journey across the desert, sharing his encounters with mirages, spirits, and saguaros. Who is Señor Babyhead, you ask? Only Mexico’s most washed up  famous sitcom star, desperate to stay relevant and avoid becoming an artifact, himself. It’s an hour of crooning, crawling, and implicating the audience in a dangerous game. 

About the artist: Analisa Raya-Flores is a writer, performer, and pâpier-maché artist based in the high desert. Her fiction can be found in Glimmer Train and MonkeyBicycle, and her face can be seen in My Beloved (Eleanor Monahan), Interesting Ball (DANIELS), and live venues all over LA and NYC. Her plays have been produced at the Annenberg Beach House and the Elysian Theater. In 2023, her screenplay Farewell Chica was a semifinalist at the Austin Film Festival Competition. As a queer Chicana, she creates work that celebrates and interrogates the Mexican-American experience, from the grief of diaspora and to the awkward hassle of Otherness. Analisa is autistic, which gives her a perspective neurotypicals often call “unique”— which she decodes to mean “unintentionally weird.” She lives, worries, and walks her dogs at the foot of the Sierras.
