Mi Madre y el Dinero

Anacarsis Ramos / Pornotráfico

© Gabriel Morales

Between everyday life and the stage, a mother and son come together in their own story: Josefina Orlaineta speaks with humor and candor about survival, class, and life in Mexico. An intimate, insightful evening exploring family, identity, and the art of getting by.For over 60 years, Josefina Orlaineta worked in more than 40 jobs in Campeche, southern Mexico. Her son Anacarsis moved to Mexico City, pursuing theater and embracing his identity as a gay man. Now Josefina performs her own story on stage with her son. With humor and charm, Josefina recounts her jobs, sharing sales tricks and survival strategies while stuffing sausages – filling the scenes with memories. Anacarsis Ramos sensitively questions his mother, transforming their dialogue into a thoughtful reflection on economic survival, class, and theater itself. Hence, Josefina offers ideas for improving precarious working conditions in the arts, while Ramos humorously comments on Europeans’ voyeuristic taste for documentary theater and his mother’s talent as a performer. The fact that Josefina, as in her other jobs, also succeeds in the theater makes “Mi madre y el dinero” an entertaining piece that is as witty as it is profound.“’Mi madre y el dinero’ was born out of the need to find a bridge that would allow me to return to my mother’s house, after the homophobia, violence and poverty that surrounded the environment in which we lived in Campeche had separated us for 10 years. This work is an attempt to establish a different relationship with my mother by creating a space mediated by work and fiction, in which we could investigate our economic history, our relationship with money, and from there rehearse and reproduce in the space of a stage the businesses that kept us together and that determined the shape of our family”. Anacarsis Ramos
