COMEMOS LA TIERRA / LA TIERRA NOS COME
WE EAT THE EARTH / THE EARTH EATS US
At the fringes of Mexico City, disembodied and isolated individuals stalk quarries and rubbish dumps, the front and back ends of cycles of consumption. Oblivious to their apocalyptic surroundings, they believe themselves to be in residential or commercial interiors. The characters collaborate on constructing pyramids of frightened desire and fervent consumption. They plug the holes and stop up doubts with a plague of fantasies.
This film weaves a narrative network of melodramatic episodes describing the romantic relations between six characters. Each episode evolved from choreographic collaborations with a dancer in response to prose.
