Notes

FOMMA - Fortaleza de la Mujer Maya - is a collective of Mayan women who use theater as a tool for education and community building. They are performers, playwrights, and teachers who tour their work in their communities and internationally, performing plays that focus on women's and indigenous rights, literacy, cultural survival, ecology, health, and education in the Tzeltal and Tzotzil indigenous languages. 'Échame mano que te pagaré' is a play about community building and the exercise of rights within the field of economy as seen in different situations that are connected in the play. After being repeatedly cheated in regards to commerce and money loans, a group of women decide to follow the lead of a friend and attend the workshops offered at FOMMA where they learn the necessary tips to not be deceived again. The video includes interviews with Isabel Juárez Espinosa and Petrona de la Cruz Cruz. Hemispheric Institute of Performance and Politics
