Soliloquio (I woke up and hit my head against the wall) by Tiziano Cruzdraws from the echoes of his childhood and the 58 letters he wrote to his mother during the Covid-19 pandemic. The performance seeks to exorcise centuries of abuse and erasure, shining a light on the defolklorized cultures of the indigenous communities in northern Argentina, where Cruz’s was born and raised. Reaching his mother across boundaries of geography and class, Cruz uses the letters as the starting point for a critique of the powers that uphold discrimination, exclusion, and injustice, extending even into the art world. 

Soliloquio (I woke up and hit my head against the wall) is the second chapter of a trilogy that has ushered Cruz into the previously uncharted territory of contemporary performance. It stands as a manifesto for the acknowledgment of diversity. Urgent and generous, this performance is an invitation to actively build the future, rather than merely waiting for it.
