Mierda de ciudad

A play about failure. A generation looking for its place.
Punk has arrived. A duel. The existential silence of the western. A renegade who no longer wants to be him. Nor naiz naizena.
The Basque diaspora in Idaho and Nebraska. A cowboy spitting. Three people telling us a story that began in the 80’s an ends today, here, in front of you. Indians Sioux defending Basque folklore. A wanted poste. The eviction of a Saloon. Another occupation. Clint Eastwood saying he doesn’t want to go to the military. It is 1880. Gunpowder and rubber 2. Nuklearrik ez, ez hemen ez inon ez. The gold rush and the closing of Astilleros. A story about the discouragement of and collective struggles. The end of a generation. A lot of police, not much fun. Defeat. The reservations of the United States of America. The redoubts of punk. Reduced both to resistances. The horizon. The people who come after behind me. A vast prairie yet to be colonized, behind me. Today. Is. The. Future. That La Polla Records sang.
