Rozalén & Luisa Gavasa
María Isabel Anita Carmen de Jesús Vargas Lizano returns home after a long tour, her last. Her friend “La Pelona” comes to pick her up in three days, and Chavela oscillates between the edges of this world and the other. From time to time, she forgets who she is, but a red thread leads her far away; to those places “where she loved life,” to a limbo of memories that visit her before departure. There, an old woman awaits death, a wounded girl rules inside a woman, and a myth becomes eternal.
The characters appear and disappear in a stage setting imbued with magical realism. Each night, we will channel “El Mito,” who will sing to us and take us to that dreamlike world.
Chavela will teach us to look at ourselves in her free and resounding mirror, living, dying, and becoming eternal.
That’s why Chavela Vargas is much more than all of that. We are all Chavela, and we are all Chavela.
