THE MOUTH OF THE GODS is an immersive performance that explores the rich history of Latin America's Indigenous peoples.
At its core lies the rediscovered opera San Francisco Xavier, written in the Chiquitano language by an unknown Indigenous composer.THE MOUTH OF THE GODS highlights an extraordinary collaboration with Latin American artists and community members. Celebrated Peruvian soprano Edith Ramos Guerra joins us for her first UK appearances alongside Quechua/Aymara tenor Rafael Montero; while Johnny Rodriguez brings his expertise in traditional Andean music to enrich the baroque orchestra, under the direction of Matthew Morley, former Chorus Master at the English National Opera.
Members of the Latin American community actively contribute to the staging by participating in heritage dance, crafting and animating Indigenous-style puppets, and meticulously re-creating a funerary mantle inspired by the ancient Paracas civilization, under the guidance of Amazonian master embroiderer Bella Lane.
Set within the historic space of Hoxton Hall, this fusion of operatic and Indigenous, professional and community arts creates a unique, shared exploration of profound themes: conquest and resistance, life and death, regeneration and spiritual continuity. THE MOUTH OF THE GODS transcends conventional theatre, offering a profound artistic experience that honours heritage and sparks our collective imagination.
THE MOUTH OF THE GODS project is supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund. Thanks to National Lottery players. Also supported by the Cockayne Foundation, London Community Foundation and the Marchus Trust. Co-produced by Hoxton Hall.
Not suitable for very young or particularly sensitive children.
