Nos Verán (Excerpt)

Director/choreographer/performer Judith Colibri
Dress by Victor Garcia
Music by Gerardo Meza

The title Nos Verán translates as “they will see us”. It was taken from “together they will see us”, which is one of the sentences that are shouted in the protests and campaigns led by the families of victims of femicide in Mexico to demand justice in the thousands of unsolved cases. Tonight’s solo performance by Judith Colibri is an excerpt from a multidisciplinary project carried out in collaboration with other artists and with the support of mothers who are victims of femicide in Mexico.
