THE PLAY |
| |
Rosa Cuchillo is a rite
of purification, cleansing and growth
based on widely used traditions native
to populations in the Andes of Peru.
It is a story founded on love: Rosa Cuchillo
is a mother who looks for her missing
son beyond the grave, traveling through
Uqhu Pacha, the “World Below,” and
Hanaq Pacha, the “World Above.” Her
return to this world, Kay Pacha, seeks
to harmonize life and, through dance
and expression, help people to lose their
fear and to begin healing from neglect.
The play was created to be presented
at Mercados Andinos in Peru. Rosa Cuchillo
bursts into the everyday life of villagers
and discovers them in a dialogue with
theatricality that includes fables, dance,
rites, imagery, music, dreams, and realities.
It seeks to remove memory in order to
facilitate a fresh outlook on Peru’s
recent history, that lived in the last
twenty years. |
