Amarillo

 AMARILLO

ABOUT 

An immense wall blocks the horizon, a wall Mexicans call “The Wall of Shame”. This monolithic wall shows the ambiguity of the border relationship between Mexico and the United States. The applicants going through are always numerous; the coyotes get greedier every time and the police control of the American border is increasingly violent (…) Through a whole new and sometimes spectacular way, he [Jorge Vargas] transforms the scene into a transitional space where he focuses on the everyday attempts of Mexican illegal immigrants in search of El Dorado: a man who has departed and of whom nothing is known. His destiny: Texas. A woman who, through self-replication, tries to rebuild herself, seeking an identity, a body, a schedule. She begins an imaginary dialogue with the missing one. Throughout the play, the characters unfold, their faces multiply, into hundreds of thousands of identities that look alike, that make-up the image of a small town in endless exile, emptying itself inexorably. Amarillo is a physical theater show, in which its committed actors offer up a performance worthy of a ballet.
