LOS 33 Y ELLA is a decolonizing endeavor (inspired by the incident in Chile with the 33 miners), an experimental documentary (in the tradition of el teatro campesino, theater of the absurd, commedia dell’ arte and rasquache aesthetics).
The film is constructed as a collective poem/play (with visual/concrete poetry subtitles) written/performed in the languages Spanish, Nawat (Pipil) and Quechua.
A group of workers, proletarians and indigenous poets, all men, is trapped underground, facing certain death. Only she can save them. Only she will save them. She, has many names. Light. Logic. Parent. Hubris. Arete. Revolution. Woman.
