Horacio tried to resurrect his act at the Hotel Coral. They offered him the stage for a one month run, with an option to renew if he could fill enough seats. He hired a new assistant, The Great Ronaldo, who was just his friend Juan José that needed some work. On the second night Horacio attempted Houdini’s milk can escape but filled it with tequila instead of the usual water. It was a trick he had done a thousand times before, but he became so intoxicated that he couldn’t open the locks. Ronaldo had to kick the can over and let the tequila run out, so he didn’t drown. Laying on its side, he was eventually able to open the lock and came out stumbling, dripping with tequila. Only a handful of people attended the next performance and the show was pulled after 3 nights.

Santa Maria de las Rocas collection image

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.
