Los Colochos was formed in August 2010 as a troupe focussed on domestic, high-quality, societally critical theatrical productions. With 14 years of experience as a troupe and four staged works, they have performed in 15 Mexican states at important national festivals, including the Cervantine International Festival, the National Theatre Sampler and the International Book Fair, as well as diverse state-backed events and conferences:
They have performed during extended periods in Mexico City at venues such as LAB trece, Carretera 45, Foro A Poco No, the Granero and Orientación Theatres of the National Institute of Fine Arts and Literature, Foro La Gruta of the Hellenic Cultural Centre and at Teatro del Chopo of the National Autonomous University of Mexico. Performing abroad, they have taken part in important festivals and undertaken tours in Spain, Germany, Colombia, Cuba, Peru, Costa Rica, the United Kingdom, Ecuador, Portugal, the United States, the Dominican Republic and Brazil.
In 2014, their project Mendoza, based on Shakespeare’s Macbeth, was awarded top honours at the fourth competition of the “Almagro Off” international festival in Almagro, Spain. At that same festival, as part of the official programme for 2017, the troupe premiered Nacahue: Ramón y Hortensia, which is based on Romeo and Juliet. In 2022, as part of a Shakespearian pentalogy, the troupe premiered works “Silencio” and “Reina”, which were inspired by Othello and King Lear, respectively. On this occasion in 2024 at the Auditorio de Tenerife, the troupe will premiere Tuta, which is their version of Titus Andronicus.
