CAST

Sabina Chávez “La bruja de la ópera” – Actress/ God

Libertad Romero – Actress/ Fire-eater

Aylín Cervantes – Actress/ Voice over

If a flare falls in the middle of the forest and no one sees it, did it really set the forest on fire?

In this play, a 15-year-old girl (quinceañera) and God, recall the moment when they both witnessed one of the largest forest fires in the country at the Monarch Butterfly Sanctuary in Michoacán.

Since in Mexico the monarch butterfly symbolizes death and resurrection, this version of the play is set during the “Día de Muertos” festivities. It is during these days, that we remember that no matter how painful it may be, death is a new way of preserving memory and a call to transformation.

Because change is the only certainty and the only constant.

In Mexico and the world, forest fires are one of the main causes of annual deforestation; whether intentional (to get rid of protected areas), accidental, or even derived from pyromania and the celebration of traditional festivities.  The monarch butterfly sanctuary in Michoacán is now a protected area that, along with its environmentalists and protectors, is under constant threat from fires and organized crime.

This work is dedicated to Homero Gómez, activist and passionate defender of the monarch butterfly, murdered at the hands of the narco-state.
