Notes
A site-specific project in installments that interweaves three violent events of the past to think about the present in the city of Xalapa, Veracruz: 1) the 1924 massacre of 10 workers in a factory now in ruins (San Bruno); 2) the 1981 beating of 12 Veracruz actors in Mexico City (Cúcara y Mácara), and 3) the assault committed against 8 students of the Universidad de Veracruz in June 2015. This project was project developed between 2015 and 2017 by Teatro Línea de Sombra in collaboration with the Organización Teatral de la Universidad Veracruzana (ORTEUV) on the basis of archival material Hemispheric Institute of Performance and Politics
The group Teatro Línea de Sombra under the direction of Jorge A. Vargas and Alicia Laguna belongs to a new generation of independent Mexican theatermakers, who have managed to establish themselves beyond the state theater system in their country and to also have a presence on the international scene. The company was founded in 1993 by actors, directors and stage designers. It currently works in multidisciplinary teams; they work across genres and develop their pieces in collective creative processes. In most of their works Teatro Línea de Sombra deals in a critical manner with the social and political reality in Mexico. The collective organizes the TRANSVERSALES festival, which takes place every year in alternate cities in Mexico and offers a platform for contemporary Mexican theater to create connections with artists from other nations.Their projects are characteristically modular and use visceral imagery, evocative soundscapes, and semi-autobiographical fictional writing. In decades past, many important border plays opted for realistic or documentary approaches in pursuit of the universal. TLS has shaped a new dramaturgy that deploys a highly visual method and draws attention to the complex effects on individuals and communities involved in immigration restrictions, detentions, and disappearances Hemispheric Institute of Performance and Politics
