The theatre festival Muestra Escénica Iberoamericana (MEI) has programmed ‘Francisca’ a monologue by the theatre company Teatro Justo Rufino Garay from Nicaragua.
The play revolves around Francisca, a Mexican-Nicaraguan woman who on All Souls’ Day prepares the table for her ancestors. As she does so, her memories from both cultures appear; sometimes she is Mexican and sometimes Nicaraguan. A new cultural identity takes shape, with the culinary flavour and songs of the two countries that trigger their memories.
According to the author, once again the rehearsal of this play provided support to the group, helped them stay alive and active during the pain and crisis that Nicaragua suffered in April 2018.
