SYNOPSIS
In a mountain far away from everything, two curanderos (healers) have to make a human sacrifice, but they fall asleep due to the intoxicating effect of mezcal. Nowadays there are no human sacrifices, and because of this event, Goyo and Manuel are convinced that the gods are angry with them and they go into various journeys, geographical and interior, to a deep Mexico. Latitude is a journey that makes us reflect on violence and the loss of our sense of the sacred. In the play, the characters serve as a metaphor of the current world: there no longer are beliefs, in the sense of the mystical, of religion, of being connected to a magical world.
