Lukas Avendaño is the most important artist of the Muxe community. Poetry, dance and anthropology are the tools they use to enunciate and express themself. Since May 10, 2018, their brother Bruno mysteriously disappeared in Tehuantepec, Oaxaca. In Mexico, Bruno is one of 40 thousand missing persons. For Lukas, the search for Bruno has become their greatest utopia.

Atempa, sueños a orillas del río

Faustino Jiménez de la Cruz, Maira Jiménez Desales
Being a child muxe, or Zapotec homosexual, Tino assumes the role of a woman to reach his teens, to resolve his economic situation and his past, despite social deprivation. Tino wants to achieve his dream of becoming a “quinceañera” and Queen Muxe. This is an intimate journey into a magical town of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, lost in the wild heel of Mexico, where femininity, strong women and men dressed as women prevail.
