Just now, on the phone, David Rohn reminded me that performance art emerged at the height of minimalism. You know, all those people walking on pieces of broken glass for hours. It could get, in Rohn’s estimation, a bit “ponderous.”

But there’s none of that when Rohn and his long-time life and art partner Danilo de la Torre perform as Homo-Sapiens, a group dedicated to promoting what we humans have in common, which in Rohn’s eyes is pretty much everything. With Rohn’s fine arts pedigree and de la Torre’s fame as queen of drag Adora, the pair appeal to a “crossover” audience from the art world, the club world, and the rest of the world too.

Homo-Sapiens’ version of “It’s a Small World” isn’t anything you’d find at Disney though. The idea is commonplace: love conquers all. The devilish bit is in the details: “War Piece” is a street theater distillation of “Silencio,” a piece that explored the Christian and Koranic prohibitions on same sex love by staging a love affair between a prison guard and a prisoner at Guantánamo. “War Piece” fuses the rift between Islam and Christianity and the struggle over same-sex marriage into one explosive storyline.

“What I hope,” Rohn explains, “is that this performance demonstrates that the love that can exist between two people — and not least, between two same gender people — transcends fear, aggression, and division.”

Homo-Sapiens perform “War Piece” at 7pm on Thursday, December 3 at the Miami Independent Thinkers Fair at the Mitrani Warehouse, 222 NW 27th Street, Miami, FL 33127. www.miamithinkers.com
