About
In La Resurrección de Mictlān, Mick “El Curandero” awakens lost and disoriented, with only a series of mysterious artifacts to guide him. As he encounters each object, he is drawn into a macabre journey through blood, death, and memory. Blending ritual, symbolism, and surreal imagery, the play unfolds as a process of self-discovery that confronts identity, ancestry, and transformation.
