Rebellion

Another mail carrier from Sacrameta, but this time found in Nicaragua; to be a witness to the last weeks that paved the fall of "Somotha," the last Nicaraguan dictator, and in those decisive moments, the residents of León are divided between a majority supporting the rebels led by Augusto César Sandino, and a minority loyal to the regime and its soldiers. From among them, Sacrameta creates a magical world of his own. The mail carrier decides that messages carrying news of death are better not to arrive, and the grandest buildings in the city pretend to be an old widow to cover up her political activity. The beautiful Vicky screams at the soldiers, and along with them, we see the priest, the barber, and others inventing their own "Trojan horse" to succeed in the rebellion and control the city. Through a multi-rhythmic text with various narrative styles, full of metaphors, Sacrameta shows how a single event can differ in impact and meaning depending on the perspective from which it is viewed; for some, loss and defeat become victory, and an unforgettable moment for others. In this work, Sacrameta carries the concerns of Nicaragua because the struggle against dictatorships is one and the same regardless of the place.
