2019 Robert L.B. Tobin Director-Designer Showcase: María de Buenos Aires
María — the central character in a tale of seduction, prostitution and sexual abuse, as told by the goblinstoryteller El Duende — is placed in a transparent box, representing the prison of the male gaze. Upon María’s death, the box breaks open and mirror panels split, revealing mirrors beyond mirrors. María begins to discover herself. But El Duende drags her back into the box and forces her to give birth to a daughter, who will become another María.
