When Gabino was six, his father came into his bedroom and told him his mother had died. Years later, Gabino felt an urgent need to discover who his mother had been.

Tracing her life and loves from her Costa Rica birthplace to Mexico via London, this is the story of Gabino’s investigation. It’s a thriller.

Gabino Rodriguez is co-founder of Mexican company Lagartijas Tiradas al Sol, known for spellbinding multi-media shows based on real events and personal stories. Founded in 2003, they have won acclaim across the world from Paris and Vienna to Santiago.

In Spanish with English surtitles

Come and enjoy Montserrat followed by a fantastic Colombian dinner from Leños y Carbón and Live Music by Felipe Andrés. The menu will be a delicous baked veal with potatoes, rice, salad and ripe plantain. And for our vegetarian friends, mouth-watering sauteed vegetables.
