Tlatelolco
Mystery remains about how the notorious massacre at Tlatelolco, Mexico unfolded in 1968 and how many people lost their lives that day. For its 50th anniversary, David Lancaster has created a dramatic setting of Marcela del Rio’s poem, which tells the narrative of the massacre from three different perspectives, in a new English translation by Victoria Carpenter. A short presentation on the massacre by Dr Carpenter will precede the work’s performance by Anna Snow plus small instrumental ensemble.
