CREATIVE PROCESS
A unique auction where the public did not offer money, but their best stories. A play that did not happen in a theater, but in art galleries and museums. A dramaturgy that did not revolve around a conflict, but revealed the life of a real person as a tribute to the figure of the cultural manager Ignacio Toscano.
I never had the pleasure of meeting him in person, but many people, like me, were able to learn about him and the important cultural legacy that marked several generations in Mexico. During the process we lived so much around his personal objects (art works, memories, curiosities, and photographs) that it was almost as if I had actually met him. This project was premiered at the beginning of 2021, a few days after Mexico City allowed in-person presentations.
