A young girl is
returned to her parents by her husband on her wedding night; a murder follows,
but this narrative is no thriller. Before the crime is even committed, the
whole village knows the where, when and why of it all. The story is of the community’s
collective guilt; “Honor is love” —that’s what they all said.
The performance is an
unusual combination of the use of storytelling technique and characters' first
person accounts that are sometimes varying, some similar, some shaky, at times
minutely detailed and some fading recollections of the honor killing. As the
characters strain their memory or pour out a still open wound from the murder,
the shadowy recounting of the past in Garcia Marquez's epic narrative reveals
itself in magical and fantastic visuals.
