Cauri Pacsa, los niños y El Plomo tells the story of the burial ceremony, discovery and scientific studies of the “Niño del Cerro el Plomo” (the Boy of El Plomo Mountain), a small Inca mummy discovered in 1954 at an altitude of more than 5,000 meters above sea level by three “pirquineros” (small scale miners). The play intertwines three separate experiences: the boy and his journey, the pirquineros and the discovery, as well as the anthropologist and her research. Over the course of the plot, characters from different time periods appear, all related to the ceremony carried out in the extreme south of Tahuantinsuyu.
This play is a multidisciplinary scenic project with the participation of La Patogallina, Joe Vasconcellos, Aldo "Macha" Asenjo and the visual artist Norton Maza. Directed by Martín Erazo (La Patogallina), the show is conceived as a tribute to and a re-interpretation of radio theater, in a format in which words, music and theatricality converge.
