Vivir muriendo is a cabaret-format show, where Astrid Hadad performs a direct political satire against the aftermath of Carlos Salinas de Gortari and Ernesto Zedillo’s Mexican government. Hadad’s iconic and continuously morphing clothes are an allegory of Mexican nation, condensed in her body and her powerful voice. Playing in the intertwining relationship between politics and sexuality, ‘Vivir muriendo’ is a thermometer of the Mexican political situation at the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century.
