El baile de la zurda
In the context of a bar, a club or a popular verbena anywhere in Latin America, musicians play and people drink and dance. The party coexists with tragedy, like life with death. And in spite of violence, suffering and inequalities; the celebration continues, and neither the enjoyment nor the desire to dance is lost. Meanwhile, chance plays its part, intertwining personal stories and triggering the unpredictable course of events. But both the characters and the events are only the backdrop, because while the music plays, the glass is emptied and the sun goes down, in the center of the party, the Dance is the protagonist.
