With his debut project El cantar del playo… (‘the singing of the faggot’), Mario Barrantes Espinoza transforms the stage into a landscape of memories. A place where melodrama, songs and visual poems invoke his personal explorations of queer sexuality and identity, from the perspective of a Central American migrant in Europe.
