Diosas subterráneas (Subterranean or Subversive Goddesses in English), talks about women who have been kidnapped by sexual slave traffickers in Mexico. In the play, the Greek myth of Demeter and her daughter Persephone, who is kidnapped into the underworld by the god Hades, is intertwined with the story of Luz García, a character based on real stories of kidnapped women who were able to escape from traffickers and become activists. The play tells the story of mothers looking for their daughters and finding an echo in the strength of community. It is a story of disobedience and subversion.

Las Diosas Subterráneas

Latino Theater Co.

Running away from a state of exception in which the world finds itself because of the Covid pandemic, and from the spatial and life restrictions imposed by the governments, five characters find themselves in a forest heath. They stop exhausted and thirsty, looking at each other with fear and distrust. The last one to get there is very sick, and this increases their terror of being infected. The extreme situation and the contact with mythical surroundings of the forest offers the possibility of interacting with one another and reimagining the world based on survival.

Pueblo Espíritu is performed without dialogue.
