Program Notes
(Verdugo: executioner [noun] person in charge of executing the death penalty or other corporal punishment imposed by justice.)

Los verdugos is a work in progress for an extended work that talks about the emotion of guilt as a tool for social manipulation. This work investigates the personal and collective judgment of society. Using as a starting point this emotion, the work shows that when a group of people are manipulated by guilt, they begin to blame each other for their individual failings, trying to exempt themselves from their own guilt.

"When the fault is everyone's, the fault is no one's."
