Ese Boker en el campo del dolor / Boker in the Promised Land of Pain
La Canavaty, Mexico
»In powerful images, author and stage director Víctor Hernández captures a Mexico undiscovered by tourists. The search for identity and future of a group of teenagers blends faith, magic, violence and love.« — The Curators
»Boker« is the only survivor of a massacre that saw the murder of the band members of »Kombo Kolombia« during a birthday party. La Canavaty pays tribute to the strength people showed during their long search for those who were missing by combining the popular dance Cumbia, the spirit of Carneval and dancers of the Fidencista religion. The character of »Boker« represents young people from a gang scene that are disproportionately affected by the government's fight against drug dealing.
In 2012, Víctor Hernández founded the company La Canavaty. Since then, he has staged many auto-fictional plays as stage director, actor and producer.
