Bourges states the following about the lecture-performance <em>Disorganizing Mimesis<\/em>: \u201cFive images of a radical theatricality: a flayed\/flayer god; a talking cross that incites a silent indigenous uprising that lasted a hundred years; a skeleton of the last Aztec emperor made from the bones of birds, deer, dogs, and a woman\u2019s skull; the corpse of Emperor Montezuma talks to his people through a sinister act of ventriloquism; Subcomandante Marcos is unmasked by the Mexican government in 1995\u2026and he turns out to be the son of a furniture dealer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Made up of H\u00e9ctor Bourges, Karla Rodr\u00edguez, Patricio Villarreal, Laura Furlan, Gisela Cort\u00e9s, and Emanuel Bourges, Teatro Ojo was founded in 2002 in Mexico City, where they still live and work. Their practice has shifted from conventionally theatrical territory to an expanded field that includes artworks, performances, and urban interventions\u00a0that question memory, the city, violence, community, modernity, education, pre-language, and the post-human. Teatro Ojo\u2019s most important projects include the installation <em>Xipe T\u00f3tec, Ponte en Mi Pellejo (Put Yourself in My Shoes)<\/em>, at the 2012 Belluard Bollwerk International Festival, Fribourg, Switzerland, and <em>Lo Que Viene (Forthcoming)<\/em>, a stage project at El Gale\u00f3n Theater, INBA, Mexico City, also in 2012. In 2011, Teatro Ojo received the gold medal for best Theater Architecture and Performance Space in the Prague Quadrennial of Performance Design and Space.<\/p>\n<p><em>Teatro Ojo\/H<\/em><em>\u00e9<\/em><em>ctor Bourges\/Patricio Villareal: Disorganizing Mimesis <\/em>is part of <em>Living Together<\/em><em>, <\/em>curated by Rina Carvajal, MOAD\u2019s Executive Director and Chief Curator, and independent curator Joseph R.
