Corrido de la Sangre - Theatre Production by Tiger Lillies

Renowned for their unique mixture of pre-war Berlin cabaret, anarchic opera and gypsy music, musical trio Tiger Lillies will create Corrido de la Sangre, a new piece of theatre inspired by the music and rhythms of Mexico, in particular the use of corridos, a musical-poetic form developed in Mexico during the 1800s. In Corrido de la Sangre, the singer and his band return from the realm of the dead to haunt their killer and tell us their dark story of intrigue, vengeance, murder and the mayhem of a romance gone bad. Set in a small dusty town in the lands between Mexico and the US, the singer relays the tale of his rise and fall and the songs of life at the border, where mythical creatures from Aztec times still haunt the night.

This new, full-length show blends stunning visuals with original music inspired by the traditional form and structure of the Mexican corrido and other traditional Mexican music. The production will be performed at HOME in April 2018, before touring internationally in 2019.

Tiger Lillies said: “The Tiger Lillies have performed many times in Mexico to some of the most enthusiastic audiences in the world. The prospect of creating music for the first time that was inspired by Latin America, celebrating that culture and seeing where it takes us artistically will be fascinating”
