Novo in the Mictlán

Dramatic poem based on Salvador Novo’s poetry.

By: Luis Felipe Fabre* (Mexico).
Director: Benjamin Lazar (France) y Thomás Gonzalez (France).

Salvador Novo has just died. He debuts his new role as deceased. But he is not in the company of the great poets of his time, but at the entrance to Mictlán. Chased by his reflection, he travels the underworld cursing and shedding his poems. In his latest Coatlicue costume, he says goodbye among memories and fecal matter.

This scathing rhapsody accompanied by boleros takes us to the doors of the afterlife.
