Searching for gold

Heraldo de Aragón

Joaquin Melguizo

According to Titzina, “History is the inheritance of the action of one man against another and its consequences for the group.” This is the theme of La Zanja. History. How we inherit the actions of the past and how they influence our present and future. The encounter between two worlds. Ancestors, conquerors and conquered. Pizarroa and Atahualpa. Mining conflicts between Western multinationals and indigenous communities in Peru. The exploitation of natural resources and cultural roots. A real exercise in anthropological theatre .
