El príncipe de Salsipuedesberg

Chatita Chimal is a Mexico City cabaret performer caught in an internal conflict when her anti-patriarchal activism backfires. Harassed by threats and blacklists, she begins to view her feminist support networks with suspicion and trades La Europa (her neighborhood in Mexico City) for Europe (the continent). In Germany, she meets Herr Antifascista, a blond, deconstructed man willing to lend her a hand. But the prince of Salsipuedesberg (a reference to a controversial figure in Mexico City) won't take long to remind our heroine of her origins. A chronicler of her time, her body, and her community, Cynthia Híjar crafts a merciless satire of the theories and unsavory practices of institutional feminism while delving into the tragicomic intersection of political and sexual relationships between unbridled migrants and "conscious" Europeans. And she writes as her teachers taught her that cabaret should be: telling jokes to talk about what's important, shaking her ass to traffic in discourse, standing on the stage of the world to pierce us above all with the reflection of our own fragility.
