Chavela — Rozalén & Luisa Gavasa

María Isabel Anita Carmen de Jesús Vargas Lizano returns home after a long tour, her final one. Her friend "La Pelona" will come to fetch her in three days, and Chavela hovers between this world and the next. Now and then she forgets who she is, but a red thread pulls her far away—to those places "where she loved life," into a limbo of memories that visit her before departure. There, an old woman awaits death, a wounded child lives within a woman, and a myth becomes eternal.

Characters appear and vanish in a staging imbued with magical realism. Each night, we channel "The Myth" who sings to us and carries us into a dreamlike world.

Chavela will teach us to see ourselves in her bold and unapologetic mirror—living, dying, and becoming eternal.

That’s why Chavela Vargas is so much more than all this. Chavela is all of us, and we are all Chavela.
