Interview with Migguel Anggelo

Today we are talking with Migguel Anggelo, a multidisciplinary entertainer presenting in top scenarios since age 13. He has toured worldwide, but after decades of living and performing in the USA, this is his first time touring the country. Born in Venezuela, he trained classically in music and theater in different ensembles and as a solo-artist in many countries.

This year he is presenting at Stanford University with his autobiographical piece, LatinXoXo, with references from his life, on a fictional in-deep conversation with his late father. He presents this fictional conversation with many musical numbers, different genders, laughs, and satire on a cabaret production. As referred on their own words, “Venezuelan cabaret artist explores his Latinx and queer identities through costume, musical composition, and movement.”

Among the stories that we talk about today are the ones about his experience in an international production of “FAME”, his experience representing the USA with the US Secretary of State in Russia, His studies in Germany as an opera Singer, and much more.
