El Dueño de las Mariposas ('The Owner of the Butterflies'), a collective creation by FOMMA directed by Doris Difarnecio, tells the story of Chepe, an orphan predestined by his "wayjel" -the hummingbird- to change the fate of the slaves suffering under the despotic rule of coffee plantation landowner Don Martín Contreras. The play exposes the dreadful life and work conditions of the "cafetaleros" (coffee plantation workers), denouncing human right violations and demanding the observance of the fundamental rights of the individual. This piece is the result of a process of collective creation on the relationship between politics and the body; the resulting performance brings together symbols, characters and circumstances from the rich Mayan imaginary as well as from the everyday life conditions of indigenous peoples in Latin America, in intricate labyrinths of time, love, injustice, and freedom, an urgent call for inalienable human rights.
