ASATIA

Colectivo Berenjena is a cultural project founded by young artists in Mexico City, with its debut play premiering in November 2016. Berenjena won the 1st Support for Research and Collective Theatrical Creation "La Vaquita," thanks to the support of Vaca 35 Teatro en Grupo.

We started Asatia as a way to explore our fears and the emptiness we feel when judging ourselves for not achieving the success we yearn for—success that is always subjective and never enough. We soon realized that this reflection stems from a deeper and more complex dilemma inherent to the human condition: the inability to live fully in the present. Our challenge became to push this discourse to its extremes through metaphor. We immersed ourselves in a laboratory of sincere, brave, and risky introspection, searching for the true driving forces that compel us to dedicate our lives to art, and to understand the root of the fear, frustration, and insatiable hunger that constantly lingers.
