A butoh-inspired performance, The 13th Chronicle is a response to the twelve chronicles presented in Sabes Algo de Mariana? (Do You Know Anything About Mariana?), a play by Mexican scholar and dramaturg Andres Cuestera-Micher. Each chronicle in Cuestera-Micher’s text narrates a gut-wrenching story of violence endured by women. For allegory purposes, each character in this play is named Mariana.The inspiration for the performance comes from a very personal place and is an offering to reimagine the world. The 13th Chronicle is a space to consider what rituals and processes need to be put in place to break the painful and horrible cycle of violence. We will gather to perform ways to mend the wounds and scars; to give voice to those that have been silenced and killed by this violence; and most importantly, to ensure that their names and lives remain in our collective memory.
