As Horacio’s star faded further, Sammy’s continued to grow. Seeing the recognition he brought to the Gran Hotel, management was willing to invest heavily in his act. They bought two Bengal tigers, Mario and Matilda, and built an elaborate indoor/outdoor habitat with lush jungle foliage for them to live in. The second act of the show featured the tigers performing in various tricks and illusions guided by Sammy and always received a standing ovation. His shows commanded the highest prices of any theatrical performance in all of Mexico and he became the face of Santa María. He appeared on brochures and often traveled abroad to represent Mexico at tourism fairs. When someone stepped off the plane at Santa María International airport and walked into the terminal, they would see a giant poster of Sammy and Matilda.
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.
