Lagartijas Tiradas Al Sol

Centroàmerica

Centroàmerica

Mexican company Lagartijas Tiradas al Sol continue to investigate and narrate the contemporary history of South America. The driving force behind their new production is the meeting with a Nicaraguan woman forced to leave her country. By focusing on a territory that Mexico has often turned its back on, the show explores the connections between two different countries, highlighting both similarities and contrasts.

 

Bio

«Lagartijas Tiradas al Sol is a flock of artists. We work on stage, we make books, radio, videos and learning processes. Since 2003, we started developing projects as a mechanism to link work and life, to erase and trace frontiers. Our work seeks to create narratives upon events from the reality. It has nothing to do with entertainment, it’s a space to think, articulate, dislocate and unravel what the everyday life fuses, overlooks and presents us as given. Things are what they are, but they can also be another way. We have presented our work in almost all the states of the Mexican Republic, we have made performed in festivals, independent venues, state theaters and universities. Overseas, among many others, we have worked in Kunstenfestivaldesarts, Brussels. Schaubuhne, Berlin. FIBA, Buenos Aires. Wiener Festwochen, Wien. Festival de automne, Paris. Theater Spektakel, Zurich. FTA, Montreal. HAU, Berli?n. Kammerspiele, Munich. Santiago a mil, Santiago.
