Filmed over several nights at North Hollywood's El Portal Theatre, ``Jesus Is Magic'' really only stumbles comedically when director Liam Lynch shifts from Silverman's stand-up routine to a series of staged encounters. She also disregards Mozelle's distrust of Elzora, played in whiteface with maniac humor by Diahann Carroll, and her specific denunciation of the comedically exaggerated "conjure woman" as a duplicitous witch and lying trickster. In representing Cortez as a courageous hero, as Limon argues, Paredes' text demolishes stereotypes of the comedically cowardly Mexican and thus "does political work as a text of positional warfare" (82) in the struggle between Anglos and Mexicans. |
