Passage of the Spiral

A documentary
Directed by Natalia Lassalle-Morillo

Passage of the Spiral (Pasadizo en Espiral) follows students and artists separated by real and imagined borders, but united by the need to tell stories. From Santo Domingo Yanhuiltán to California to the liminal space of the theater, we experience transnational migration and creative collaboration through the lens of young people based in the Mixteca Region of México and Los Angeles, California. These journeys emerge from a concentric point of a spiral – Yanhuitlán and its ghosts – addressing the complexities of representation, of who is telling whose story and why.

The film draws upon the multi-year creation of the theatrical play El Camino Donde Nosotros Lloramos (The Road Where We Weep) led by celebrated Mexican theater company Lagartijas Tiradas al Sol.
