Inspired by the texts that narrate the epic that entailed the conquest of Mexico, Malinche's Dream is a poetic piece. Likewise, Pablo Auladell's drawings take on pictorial reminiscences beyond the codices and their context. The tragic influence of Mexico’s conquest and its consequences make Malinche's Dream a timeless fable. But, as in Picasso's Guernica, that does not detract from its testimonial veracity.
At least, that's the presentation. Relive the memory as if everything was happening in other dimensions. Those of a terrifying children's story. With one difference: Hernán Cortés, Moctezuma and Malinche really existed. And the bloody reality that realizes accounts for their existence surpasses what is narrated and what can be imagined.
Malinche's Dream reminds us how, in the heat of battles, a woman contributed decisively to the conquest of Mexico with a weapon of secret power: the word.
And it also presupposes a cinematographic narrative in which the cadence of pictorial images converges with musical and literary ones.
