Caborca

Caborca is a bilingual theatre ensemble under the auteurship of Javier Antonio González. 

For over a decade, we have occupied a unique space in New York at the intersection of the Latinx and experimental arts communities, building an expansive body of politically and aesthetically charged work that confronts entrenched colonial power dynamics.

A laboratory for dramatic and performative forms, we create original and adapted works by engaging an ever-expanding range of tools such as multimedia, physical and dance theatre, nonlinearity, fluidity of character and language, and choral storytelling. 

We take our name from Roberto Bolaño’s novel The Savage Detectives, where Caborca is not only a town in the desert but an ephemeral poetry magazine turned cryptic manifesto.
