'La Llorona Llora' tells of the intermarriage of the invading Conquistadors with native Mexican women. The men are then recalled and the children of this union are welcomed as true Spaniards but the women, as savages, cannot return to the mother country. Faced with this heartbreaking separation the distraught mothers follow the classic path of Medea.

This sensitive text, in English and Spanish by Sylvia Gonzales S, is dynamically interpreted with influences drawn from the Japanese theatre form of Butoh, which explores physical manifestations of human life in its love, anger, misery and beauty.
