Muerto
The story.
The favela of Bogota, Colombia. Maria does everything she can to protect her children from the dangers of the streets. But when her oldest son Jaime falls under the spell of recruiter Alberto and chooses to join a FARC group, the biggest battle of her life begins for her: the battle for her child. "Muerto" is a haunting musical about life and survival, about the search for footing in a country where children are deployed as soldiers. Because where do you stand when playing soldier no longer turns out to be a game?
