MORTIDO AT BELVOIR DIRECTED BY LETICIA CÁCERES

Eastside Arts presenter Jorjia Gillis spoke with theatre director Leticia Cáceres about her latest production Mortido by Angela Betzien showing shortly at Belvoir.

Mortido is a revenge tragedy, crime thriller and contemporary morality play all rolled into one.

It begins with a Mexican fable about death and ends in Sydney’s Western suburbs. In-between it takes in the Sydney police force, Qantas, quinoa, Berlin, Nazi Germany, Krispy Kreme donuts, Coca Cola, public housing, a seventh birthday party, the property market and a body in our country’s most famous Harbour. The connective tissue? Cocaine and a narrative with the power of a locomotive.
