Where documentary meets magical realism, this solo physical theatre performance blends dance, song and live storytelling to explore embodied and genetic memory.
Inspired by Montserrat’s grandfather’s stories and Juan Rulfo’s The Burning Plain, it interweaves family archives with self-fiction in a phantasmagorical journey towards a place of origin: Jalisco, Mexico.
Through imagined landscapes of an unknown past, a girl walks home, tracing the fragile threads between ancestry, migration and identity. Vestiges of a dry creek is the impossible reunion, the journey towards her origins—or death—unfolding as a spiral and a mirror.
This performance will be in English and Spanish with English surtitles.
