Previously, in February of this year, Flores play PLACAS: The Most Dangerous Tattoo was presented as a co-production with BOFLTE for the Santa Ana youth and families at South Coast Repertory. The play sparked conversation about the need to understand the realities and obstacles of affected youth and families through the use of the plays themes including: gangs, incarceration, police conduct, family restoration, and post prison re-entry. His other plays include solo performance Youre Gonna Cry and his most recent production On The Hill: I AM ALEX NIETO. Flores unique theater performance combines interview based character monologues with bombastic spoken word. San Francisco Weekly named him Best Politically Active Hip-Hop Performance Artist and KQED honored him as a Latino Heritage Local Hero for his work in theater and youth development. Recently named a 2015 Doris Duke Artist, Flores is a Theater professor at the University of San Francisco.
