Torera

Written by Monet Hurst-Mendoza Directed and Choreographed by Tatiana Pandiani Elena María Ramírez was born to be a torera, but it’s a rare feat for a woman in México’s bullfighting scene. In order to enter the ring, she must defy society, her family, and legendary torero Don Rafael Cárdenas.

"Torera" is a dynamic, epic family drama that swirls with the action, stakes, and intrigue of the bullfighting ring. "Torera" explores bullfighting as a sport and culture in this coming of age story set in Mexico. It is a controversial practice that we neither condemn nor condone. The intent of this production is not to romanticize the sport, which is currently banned in Mexico City and most of the Mexican provinces, but to respect the spirit around it.

Elena María Ramírez nació para ser una torera, pero en la cultura de corrida en México, es es un hecho excepcional. Para entrar a la plaza, tiene que enfrentar la sociedad, su familia, y el torero legendario Don Rafael Cárdenas. "Torera" es un drama familiar épico y dinámico que se llena con la acción, riesgo e intriga de la plaza de toros.

"Torera" explora la corrida de toros (el toreo) como un deporte cultural en esta historia de iniciación que toma lugar en México. Es una práctica controversial que no condenamos ni apoyamos, pero queremos explorar de una manera artística con el uso de movimiento y coreografía.
