A ferocious, darkly playful collaboration where emerging artists push form and fear, using myth, humor, and horror, to expose the rites of girlhood and the damage beneath cultural obsession.
By Alexis Scheer
Directed by Sofia Ubilla
A gang of teenage girls gathers in an abandoned treehouse to summon the ghost of Pablo Escobar. Are they messing with the actual spirit of the infamous cartel kingpin? Or are they really just messing with each other? A roller coaster ride through the danger and damage of girlhood — the teenage wasteland — has never been so much twisted fun.
Approximate run time: 90 minutes, no intermission
Suggested ages: Intended for Mature Audiences
