MIERDA DE CIUDAD
A play about failure. A duel. The existential silence of the Western.
A play about failure. Caravans of colonials seeking a better place to make a fresh start. A generation looking for their own place in the world. Punk has arrived. A duel. The existential silence of the Western.
A renegade who no longer wishes to be himself. Ni naiz naizena. The Basque Diaspora in Idaho and Nebraska. A spitting cowboy. Three people are telling us a story that began in the 80s and ends today, here, right in front of you. Sioux Indians defending Basque folklore. A ‘wanted’ poster. Clearing a saloon. Another type of occupation. Clint Eastwood rejecting military service. It’s 1880. Gunpowder and dynamite. Nuklearrik ez, ez hemen ez inon ez. Gold fever and the closure of the shipyards. It’s 1980. 8,000 Indians and cowboys marching on Herrera de la Mancha. Eight thousand renegades crossing the desert and a sheriff watching them from a hill. A story of discouraging thought and collective struggles. The horse. A group of horses galloping away. The end of a generation. A lot of policemen and little fun. The loss. The reserves of the United States of America. The strongholds of punk. Both reduced to forming a resistance. The horizon. The people who will follow on after me. A vast meadow yet to be colonised, behind me. Today. Is. The. Future. Like they sang at La Polla Records.
