This video documents the theater piece 'denuncaacabar', directed by Márquez with her students of the University of Puerto Rico's 'Teatro Rodante' (Traveling Theater). The piece is a ludic theatrical exploration of issues of gender, race, culture, imperialism, and social conditions in Puerto Rican everyday life as portrayed by short stories written by the most outstanding Puerto Rican writers in the '80s. Created collaboratively by the members of the Teatro Rodante, the piece weaves a varied array of themes, languages and styles in their staging of 'La crianza: con la boca es un mamey' by Kalman Barsy, 'Marina y su olor' by Mayra Santos, 'Hostos, bróder, esto está difícil' by Magali García Ramis, 'La Gurúa Talía: Correo de San Valentín' by Ana Lydia Vega, as well as unpublished texts by renowned Puerto Rican artist Antonio Martorell.
