BAD MEXICAN DOG
TicketsBAD MEXICAN DOG is Joni Eika’s resort fable from the short story collection After the Sun, which received the Nordic Council Literature Prize in 2019. A queer poetic class story about beach boys’ lives in the shadow of tourists at a resort in Mexico. At Sort/Hvid staged by director Emil Rostrup and the set design duo GRIF (Ditte Tygesen and Mikkel Rostrup) known for their quirky and brutal stage aesthetics. Welcome into a surreal, ritual charter hell to the sound of a Latin American band.
Your beach boy understands that you are conscientious and tells you what it’s like to be a beach boy, if you want to hear? He offers massages, drinks, sunscreen, shade. He tells you about the other beach boys, their mutual love, the mysterious life after the guests have gone home – until Ginger, a nervous red-haired beach boy, stumbles and lands with his face between the pale buttocks of a female beachgoer. You see how Ginger is punished by the woman’s boyfriend. How he is beaten to death while we all watch, unperturbed. A little later the band starts playing again. The holiday paradise continues, but the music now sounds distorted in your ears.
As the sun sets, the beach boys gather around Ginger’s body. Now it begins. Their magical ritual conjuring up another world. You are the cause, you are the witness, you are the goal, you are the means.
