Theseus and the Minotaur are twisted and turned in this cultural adaption and reimagining of the Greek play about a hero, a monster, a maze and a ball of string.

Lost in a maze where nothing is what it seems, Valiente must choose his allies carefully if he is to survive long enough to escape the labyrinth – but escaping may turn out to be the wrong way of looking at things. Heroes, Anti-heroes and mischievous creatures roam the corridors of the labyrinth in a game of chess where a false move can alter your future forever. What happens when you are lost, when love plays games, and nothing is what it seems, and danger is disguised as harmless distraction.

(The Night Visitors)
El Patrón in a gesture of pity and mocking tasks a local musician who is mute with composing his narcocorrido before the final bell of Dia de Muertos. As night falls, El Patrón seeks relief from the torment of three spirits sent by his dead business partner in an attempt to change the course of his life. The evening is on course for redemption until the final spirit, Death, decides to turn the tables on El Patrón as the young musician completes the narcocorrido and El Patrón realizes he has been the pawn this whole time.

(Inspired by Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol”)

This play picks up one year after Corazon Cicatrizado. After losing out on love to death on Dia De Los Muertos, Angel lights a candle on the ofrenda he has made. He secretly hopes to see Chimalli as the borders open between the living and the dead, but an unexpected visitor arrives with questions: Chimalli’s mother. Meanwhile a suspicious fire breaks out in the piñata factory of his cousin Emiliano. Adding to the unexpected events are the arrival of a young rentboy that Angel once saved from a dangerous client, asking to be saved again. An unlikely source of help and friendship arrives from overseas as their friend Porfirio returns from Paris, still seeking direction in life. But he’s not the only one showing up to help set things right.

One summer afternoon, two young men lost in the neighborhoods of Mexico City stumble onto a parish fair where they enjoy a night of carnival rides, food, and fireworks. Sparks fly when one of them catches the eye of a local girl, but just before midnight, a fight breaks out and the two men escape. Unable to forget her, he returns the next day with his buddy to the same spot only to find an old priest at an abandoned church who knows more than he admits to. Cultures, time and forbidden loves lead to the ultimate sacrifice. How far would you go for the love of your life?

There’s always something waiting to come to life.
