A political play about the female homicides of Juarez.

According to official reports, in Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico, over 576 women have been murdered and over 600 are still missing. No specific action has been taken to stop this appalling female homicide, neither by the Mexican government, local authorities nor by international corporations. The victims are young women and migrants. All the victims have names, faces and stories that are simply ignored most of the times.

A Footprint project, Tirso Theatre and Oval House collaboration.
