Description |
In drama, dance and song this Chronicle explodes with bold and passionate gesture and image. It brings new life to Marquez's famous story of the assassination of Santiago Nasar by the Vicario brothers in 'legitimate defence' of their sister's honour. With a sardonic edge and Latin soul, the spiraling and unavoidable whirlpool that ensues reflects upon social prejudices, the irrationality of violence, society's moral codes and the complicity of silence. |
