Raquel Araujo and Teatro de la Rendija: Mandas and Miracles

Mandas and Miracles

Mandas are made and performed in order to obtain miracles. It is a way of negotiating with God. They are composed of three trajectories over a floor covered in flour.  Three wishes in search of a saint begin a dialogue. The audience will be invited to light their candles for their miracles to be fulfilled.
