Doña Criba lives in an isolated town which symbolizes a blank page where the story will appear. She is the operator of the old telephone switchboard, and listens to the conversations and then compiles them into the town’s story. The plot represents the corruption in a Mexican state and how it changes even the history of our countries. Politicians rob archeological sites thus transforming an authentic history into a history of corruption. Doña Criba, can be said, was born from the passion for the arts, specifically from the art of writing. The character of Dona Criba represents writing and consequently literature. Her name is derived from “scribe”. Roland Barthes, a French thinker and writer, inspired the story because of his essay on the “death of the author”. |
Doña Criba will be performed in Spanish.
