Author Description

"This publication, in collaboration with Koester, proposes to research and retrace the footsteps of Grotowski's trips to Mexico; the second, the opportunity to give a new perspective on Grotowski's persona and trips to Mexico, through the voice of historians, anthropologists, and former students, such as Jaime Soriano, who was interviewed specifically for this publication and spoke on subjects related to the two workshops Grotowski organized in Mexico. The first of these took place among the Huichol Indians in the remote Sierras of central Mexico, and the second was a happening that took place in an old warehouse in the proximity of Amecameca, Estado de Mexico. No evidence exists of what happened throughout the 14 days the work unfolded. What they did remains a mystery. If anything took place at all, how did Grotowski appear? What did he say?"--Publisher's website.
