La Resurrección de Mictlān

by Orlando F. Rodriguez

“How can people be reminded of their culture, their ancestry, when the machine was designed to make them forget?”

About

In La Resurrección de Mictlān, Mick “El Curandero” awakens lost and disoriented, with only a series of mysterious artifacts to guide him. As he encounters each object, he is drawn into a macabre journey through blood, death, and memory. Blending ritual, symbolism, and surreal imagery, the play unfolds as a process of self-discovery that confronts identity, ancestry, and transformation.

This staged reading is part of Cimientos 2026, IATI Theater’s annual play development program and staged readings series.
