Description
This one is dedicated... to this little (not so anymore) girl who today directed and scripted her first play. Couldn't be more proud of her. Not only she wrote the play, she perfectly captured the scent of this myth and portrayed it beautifully.Related content

La veo un poco más abstracta... como si el tiempo la hubiese petrificado. E incluso más terrible que otras Lloronas que pululan por ahí. Muy buena obra.

La llorona it's a tale that started before the conquest. It's about a tribal leader who scared the conquerors with her cry... But once she got killed, her cries would still be heard. It's usually described that she cries for her children 'mis hijos' in spanish.
Then this myth got mixed during the colony and now there are tons of versions, being the main one that she still haunts the Xochimilco lakes in Mexico City or some houses near Coyoacán, also in Mexico City.
In almost every one, she cries for her children and is heavily related with water.

In Texas, La Llorona is said to have been a woman who drowned her children to spite her lover (a wealthy aristocrat who ruined her)- or at least that's the version I've always heard around here. I never knew she was supposed to be a native. In the local versions, she travels along roads and wails along rivers searching for the children that she drowned either out of guilt or because when she arrived at the doors of heaven St Peter asked her where her children were.
I've always found ghost stories really cool and am glad to have found some of the more original versions on here.
This piece is beautifully expressive- thank you so much for posting it!

Thanks!!
It's so awesome to see how a single event can trigger so many legends!
I could almost bet that these two different events did happen and them both got related to La Llorona
I didn't even knew they had this in Texas!!
Thanks and see ya around
