Martín Acosta: Timboctou
Martín Acosta: Timboctou “[Acosta is] one of the most important creators of theater in Mexico.” El Informador
“A dialogue of gazes between artists from Mexico and the USA...with the powerful flight of imagination.” Martín Acosta
Presented by CalArts Center for New Peformance in association with Duende CalArts and UDG Cultura *World premiere WRITTEN BY ALEJANDRO RICAÑO DIRECTED BY MARTÍN ACOSTA
Strangers find their lives suddenly intertwined by acts of violence and corruption in Timboctou, a wryly humorous and provocative new play written by Alejandro Ricaño and set against the volatile backdrop of the Mexican drug wars and intense border politics. This world premiere production imagines Timboctou as a mysterious, unreachable refuge at the end of the earth and illustrates the narrow line between victim and victimized. Celebrated Mexico City director Martín Acosta leads a binational cast and creative team for this highly visual multimedia work, a unique collaboration between the CalArts Center for New Performance and its bilingual theater initiative Duende CalArts and the University of Guadalajara's Cultura presenting organization.
In Spanish and English with subtitles.
