BOLD | RAW | PUPPETRY | BINATIONAL | EMOTIONAL
**Performed in Spanish | **Presentación en Español
“Parking sin estrellas” es una obra de teatro con títeres que presenta la problemática observada en la Zona Norte de Tijuana (zona de tolerancia) en la que viven niñas y niños que se pueden ver a todas horas del día solas/os, caminando entre prostitutas, turistas, “sobre ruedas” (mercados callejeros), borrachos, puestos de tacos, puntos de comercio de drogas, casinos, mexican curious y mariachis. Esta confluencia caótica, tradicional, moderna y peligrosa nos hace pensar en la Zona Norte como una analogía a la selva, en la que cohabitan distintos ambientes, animales, peligros, presas y también cierta estética de lo grotesco. Las niñas y los niños de esta zona han aprendido estrategias de supervivencia, pero también siguen siendo pequeñas/os soñadoras/es a quienes les hemos arrojado a esa jungla y que, sin embargo, no dejan de imaginar sobre posibilidades fantásticas. Acompaña al pequeño protagonista en su excursión entre la caótica y peligrosa “selva citadina” de la Zona Norte y viaja en el espacio sideral como metáfora de sus sueños – un escape de este mundo salvaje a través de la bella imaginación propia de la infancia.
“Parking without Stars” (**Performed in Spanish) is a puppetry show that portrays the troubled Zona Norte of Tijuana (zone of tolerance) where the children can be seen alone at all hours of the day, walking among prostitutes, tourists, “sobre ruedas” (street markets), drunkards, taco stands, drug trade points, casinos, Mexican curious, and mariachis. The chaotic, traditional, and dangerous confluence makes us think of the Zona Norte as an analogy for the jungle where the distinct environments, animals, dangers, prey, and a particular aesthetic of the grotesque, coexist. The girls and boys in this area have learned survival strategies to move through the streets. Still, they continue to be little dreamers that we’ve thrown into that jungle and who do not stop imagining fantastic possibilities. Accompany the young protagonist on his excursion through the chaotic and dangerous “city jungle” of the Zona Norte and travel into outer space as a metaphor for his dreams – an escape from this wild world through the beautiful imagination of childhood.
