Active since 2003, the Mexican company Lagartijas Tiradas to Sol, founded by
Luisa Pardo and Gabino Rodrìguez, stood out from the beginning for his artistic
research characterized by the attempt to develop projects that go beyond the boundaries of everyday life, joining theater to real ways of thinking, living and working. It's the same company that say: "This is not entertainment, ours is a space of thought."
In Se rompen las olas, Mariana Villegas unravels what is for her an uncertain story: the story of how her parents met after the tragic and devastating earthquake in Mexico City in 1985 and how that event is responsible for her existence.
“All of the questions arrived in a single envelope, all of them. This project is a response to and an affirmation of the question: Who am I? I was born after the earthquake. I did not experience it, but I am afraid of it. I have arrived at the conclusion that I am a story that was written not only by me. We are all stories, suppositions, investigations, unknowns, flesh, bone and guts, we are memory, we are relatives, we are fantasy, we are individuals, we are from here but were born over there, we are what was not experienced, we are new and old at this, we are consequence, we are project, we are complaint. We have last names, and we do not. We lie, explain, laugh, are speechless, cry, eat, distance ourselves, seek, and so…are we family? They say that family is destiny. Is it? In Mexico the earth opened up, the Historic Downtown crumbled, thousands died, many more came together, the government felt fear, society organized itself…and, along with all that, María and Raúl met.”
