A Grave Is Given Supper is a Narco-Acid Western written in a series of interlinked poems by Mike Soto. One actor, Elena Hurst, embodies three characters in this multi-media production which merges Acid-Western film with Social Realism. Traditional dance, Nortec music, pre-Hispanic rituals, and video projections, bring to life the story of Topito and Consuelo, two lovers whose paths converge in El Sumidero, a fictional US/Mexico border town where an ongoing drug war rages. The surreal verse of Soto’s poems, infused with rituals of love and loss, explores the complicated desires of people living in the borderland.
