Fact meets fiction and national stories become personal in this powerful work by Mexico’s most politically active artists.
From 1929 to 2000 just one party, the PRI, governed Mexico. In 2012, as the PRI returned to power once again, innovative theatre company Lagartijas Tiradas al Sol began to investigate the policies of intimidation and violence that had sustained their regime for so long.
Combining archive recordings and extensive research with an imagined account of the final days of a ‘disappeared’ dissident writer, this potent work of political protest is documentary theatre at its most thrilling.
