Teatro Experimental de Cali's "Preguntas inútiles" tells the story of a "barrio de invasión" (a neighborhood of internal refugees that "invaded" an empty lot) in the suburbs of Cali. These neighborhoods are built from scratch by displaced people escaping from violence and poverty in other regions of Colombia. After building their homes, the refugees have to fight against the attempts at violent relocation by the state and the police. In the play, the "barrio" is located by a stream, between two hills. The stream is often blood-colored as a result of fights between the inhabitants of the opposing hills, a rivalry that evokes the feud between the Montagues and the Capulets in "Romeo and Juliet." The characters are mainly young gangsters and their girlfriends. Through break-dancing and rapping, love finds its way among everyday violence in this symbolic portrait of Colombian society.
