Grupo Teatral Tehuantepec

“There is a good reason to travel to the Isthmus of Tehuantepec and it is the opportunity to see the theater of Marco Antonio Pétriz, exceptional director and playwright, who has given the national stage around 20 endearing plays, in 27 years of career.” 

"Years ago I went to the Isthmus of Tehuantepec to see the theater of Marco Pétriz and I was amazed by its complex simplicity, its apparent “heritage” (costumbrismo), indeed, but magical, a performing art where the social order acquires the fascination of understanding this thing we call the world in the theater. A woman in the excesses of alcohol is not the important thing, but what counts of the community." 

"I learned that it had been many years since Pétriz had been on stage as an actor and that with this production he was returning to the stage. What a comeback with Gabriela Martínez. They are capable of making some people laugh, making others burst into laughter, even a tear or two. The interpretative strength in this tragicomedy shows that in Oaxaca they also know how to do theater, and well. 

"The superb performances of Gabriela Martínez and Antonio Torreslópez achieve an immediate connection with the audience. The performers transcend clichés and stereotypes to probe, from the core, the essential conflict faced by the characters."
