Mapa Teatro’s 'Martian Operetta' (Opereta marciana) was presented as a part of the 7th Encuentro of the Hemispheric Institute of Performance and Politics, held in August of 2009 in Bogotá, Colombia, under the title 'Staging Citizenship: Cultural Rights in the Americas.' This 10-day event brought together activism, scholarship, and art around the themes of legacies, memories, struggles, and frontiers of citizenship. 'Martian Operetta' was a remake of the Mexican film Blue Demon y las Invasoras. It revisited, through the art of transvestism, the influence that Mexican popular music and narrative film had on the Colombian imaginary. This film was projected while Crystal, Charlotte and Linda Lucía Callejas perform a live lip sync of sumptuous love songs.
