Based on Jonas Eika's resort fable from the short story collection "Efter solen", which won the Nordic Council Literature Prize in 2019, Bad Mexican Dog is a queer, poetic story of class, following beach boys who live in the shadow of tourists at a Mexican resort.
Directed by Emil Rostrup, with set design by the duo GRIF (Ditte Tygesen and Mikkel Rostrup), known for their quirky and brutal stage aesthetics, the production is a surreal, ritual version of a charter-flight hell, played alongside a live Latin American band.
The performers are Ludvig Brostrup, Tani Dibasey and Antonio Salcedo. Brostrup, Dibasey and Salcedo also have further performances of Bad Mexican Dog at Sort/Hvid in November.
