“What the fuck am I doing here,” Horacio whispered to himself as he stepped on the stage of the Rothstein Bar Mitzva at the Caracoles Ballroom at the Tortugamar Resort. “None of this makes sense anymore.”
He came to the realization that he was no longer practicing his craft. The idea of magic, of making the impossible possible, had been traded to earn a living. He was getting paid because of who he was before, not what he was at that moment. It didn’t matter what he did on stage. They would still hoot and holler. Drunken teenagers shouted and jumped on the stage and took the microphone out of his hands. At the end of the show, he raised a glass of wine, shouted “l'chaim,” and took a fast, angry gulp as the red juice ran down his face and dripped all over his shirt.
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.
