Mystery remains about how the notorious massacre at Tlatelolco, Mexico, unfolded in 1968 and how many lost their lives. For its 50th anniversary, David Lancaster has created a dramatic setting of Marcela del Rio’s epic poem which re-tells the story of the bloody massacre from three different perspectives, with an English translation by Victoria Carpenter. A short presentation on the massacre and text will precede the work’s performance.
