Bad Mexican Dog is a musical theatre piece for young and adult audiences, adapted from Jonas Eika's resort fable in the short story collection "Efter solen", which won the Nordic Council Literature Prize in 2019. The story follows beach boys living in the shadow of tourists at a holiday resort in Mexico, told as a queer, poetic class story.
Directed by Emil Rostrup, with sets by the design duo GRIF (Ditte Tygesen and Mikkel Rostrup), known for their quirky and brutal stage aesthetic, the production is staged as a surreal, ritual charter-flight hell, accompanied by a live Latin American band. The cast includes Ludvig Brostrup, Tani Dibasey and Antonio Salcedo, and Brostrup and Dibasey also have further performances of the show at Sort/Hvid in November.
