About the event
Written by Jaymes Sanchez '13
Directed by Cristina Angeles
Unbeknownst to him, Tez is participating in a yearly ritual that will result in his brutal sacrifice, a religious ritual that the king uses to inspire the people toward conquest. Tez tries to convince himself that he actually is a god, if only to reduce his debilitating fear of death. As Tez and his babysitter, the king's niece, develop a bond, they plot their escape from the empire.
A conversation with the artists follows the performance.
