AUTOPSY OF A SNOWFLAKE. (Autopsia de un copo de nieve)by Luis Santillán. Translated by Caridad Svich. In this play, a mother and her two daughters play out a darkly comic and tragic cycle of co-dependency that leads to an increasingly isolated interior landscape for each of them that spirals beyond their control. A story about the void at the heart of upper middle-class life and the patriarchal structures that contain women. This translation/adaptation was commissioned and developed at The Lark, New York City, as part of the 2019 US/Mexico Playwright Exchange Program, where it received a rehearsed reading under the direction of Adrian Alexander Alea. This publication is a collaboration between The Lark and NoPassport Press.

Ésta es una obra que habla de la relación entre tres mujeres: una madre y sus dos hijas, y su odio, su aislamiento, abandono y furia desplegados en el espacio de un baño. Ésta es la historia de un mundo desolador. La sensación de soledad que el autor consigue provocar es casi insoportable. Dentro de la corriente dramatúrgica contemporánea, por su estructura y su dialogación escueta, esta autopsia busca ir más allá de la forma para adentrarse, con un profundo sentido de verdad, en la intimidad de las mujeres, de sus cuerpos y laberintos mentales. El baño de esta obra sirve para la única finalidad para la que fue creado: ser el escenario del suicidio de una niña que no se sintió amada.

Ésta es la primera obra mexicana estrenada en Inglaterra, nada menos que en el legendario Royal Court Theatre, cuna de la renovación dramatúrgica británica en el siglo XX. Su éxito no ha sido casual ni aislado. Más allá de sus valores formales, que recuperan para el teatro el rigor literario, De insomnio y medianoche permanece en la memoria por su peculiar manera de explorar la atracción irracional que el hombre siente por los abismos.

Two haunting riffs on Nathaniel Hawthorne's novel The Scarlet Letter, from a leading American playwright. Hester La Negrita of In the Blood is an unapologetic mother of five illegitimate children, whose daily struggle among many is to master writing the alphabet, to help herself 'one day get a leg up'. She remains unable to get further than the letter A, scrawled in chalk beneath a railway bridge. Suzan-Lori Parks' play In the Blood was first staged at the Joseph Papp Public Theater, New York, in 1999. It was shortlisted for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 2000. Hester Smith of Fucking A works the only job available - back-street abortionist - in order to save for a reunion picnic with her imprisoned son. Her branded A bleeds afresh every time a patient comes to see her. Fucking A was first staged at the DiverseWorks Artspace in Houston, Texas, in February 2000.
