Lagartijas Tiradas al Sol is a flock of artists. We work on stage, make books, radio, videos, and engage in pedagogical processes. Since 2003, we have been developing projects as a mechanism to connect work and life, to blur and redraw boundaries. Our work seeks to create narratives based on real events. It has nothing to do with entertainment; it is a space for thinking, articulating, shifting, and unraveling what everyday life merges, overlooks, or presents as a given. Things are what they are, but they can also be otherwise. We have presented our work in almost every state in Mexico and have participated in festivals, independent venues, state theaters, and universities.
Abroad, we have worked at Museo Reina Sofía (Madrid), Kunstenfestivaldesarts (Brussels), Schaubühne (Berlin), FIBA (Buenos Aires), Wiener Festwochen (Vienna), Festival d’Automne (Paris), Theater Spektakel (Zurich), FTA (Montreal), HAU (Berlin), Kammerspiele (Munich), Santiago a Mil (Santiago), Theater Biennale (São Paulo), DeSingel (Antwerp), Festival Internacional (Caracas), FAEL (Lima), Belluard International (Fribourg), Cena Contemporânea (Brasilia), TBA (Portland), FIAC (Salvador de Bahía), Festival de Otoño (Madrid), RADAR (Los Angeles), Temporada Alta (Girona), Dialog Festival (Wroclaw), Centro Cultural España (Guatemala), BAD (Bilbao), Inteatro (Ancona), TNT (Terrassa), MESS (Sarajevo), Fusebox (Austin), Noorderzon (Groningen), among many others.
We have received several awards and recognitions, including the ZKB Patronage Prize at Zürcher Theater Spektakel and the Audience Award at the Impatience Festival (Théâtre de l’Odéon and Centquatre) in Paris. Since 2023, our work has been part of the Hemispheric Institute Digital Video Library in New York.
