A mother and son. Throughout her life, she has done a host of different jobs in order to support the family. He has dedicated his life to theatre. Together, the stage becomes a tool for unfurling their different existences, caught up at the intersection of capitalism inherited violence.
Over the course of six decades, Josefina Orlaineta has managed forty small companies, selling everything from sandwiches to fancy jewellery. Onstage, the Mexican director Anacarsis Ramos and his mother undertake a materialist reading of these years spent working. Put differently, this is a reading of a more tender kind, which offloads Josefina’s responsibility for choices determined by a specific context: Campeche, which could not be a better example of the mechanisms of neocolonial capitalism, a coastal, working-class region the natural resources of which have ceased, over the course of the 20th century, to benefit its habitants. The forty-first business is being played out before our eyes. A small theatre business which enables, just like the others, money to be earned, for as long as festivals continue to programme it. In it, Josefina Orlaineta no longer takes on this figure of the ever-resourceful shopkeeper whose destiny has something of the picaresque about it, and who gets back on her feet in a pragmatic way after each defeat. Here she transforms into an actress, performing, in an arte povera decor, the complex interweaving of work, theatre and life.
