Theme nights commonly occurred at Santa María hotels. Not just for holidays, but for full moons or to celebrate the summer or winter solstice. They were reason enough for those with means to drink more, to dance more. To lose their inhibitions while staff was there to cater to their every need. They went all out for entertainment, bringing in musical acts and dance troupes from Mexico City. A young magician, Horacio Vázquez, little more than a boy, was given access to perform through his father who happened to run the hotel. He called himself Horacio the Magnificent and did card tricks and turned forks into spoons to the delighted guests who threw money at him in their alcoholic stupor. He became the star of the show.
A novella by Nicholas Gill and Alejandro Cartagena.
A collection of 151 “expired photographs” that were thrown out, collected from a tianguis outside of Mexico City by photographer and archivist Alejandro Cartagena and then pieced together and reimagined by writer Nicholas Gill. The 151-page novella tells the tale of the fictional town of Santa María de las Rocas, located in the Mexican state of Tamaulipas.
The story traces this coastal community from its humble origins at the turn of the century to the 1980s, as it corresponds to real events in the history of this corner of Mexico. As years pass, the landscape changes and the community grows and develops. There’s corruption and violence, magic and hope. Characters fall in love and fall apart. Their voices are heard. Their songs are sung.
The existence of this project is designed to question the very nature of storytelling and its possibilities in the digital age. As such, it’s done as a CO0, for free public use.
