“¿No es asombro lo que he buscado toda mi vida?”

Abstract
Tiburón, by Lagartijas tiradas al sol, constructs on stage a game of theatrical deceptions between reality and rewritings. Inspired by the desire to relive the awe of American nature that the missionary José María de Barahona had experienced during his journey to Tiburón Island in the Sea of Cortés, in 2019 Lázaro sets sail for the same island to retrace the steps of the friar and thus write his Anthropology thesis on the Tokáriku tribe. The only actor on stage splits into two (or more?) characters in an intertextual mise en abyme that mixes fiction and chronicles, historical novel and documentary theatre, ‘civilisation’ and ‘barbarism’.
