To quote a letter from Mime-performer Ariadna Rubio Lleó [1982] to Pocahontas, the legendary Powhatan-princess: “I am going to make a show in which I play you! Usually I am cast as a Latina cleaning lady or some exotic whore, because of the way I look, but finally, here’s a wonderful opportunity for me. I will start with the Walt Disney picture. […] I think you are very brave to face your strict father. A true sign of emancipation. […] My show deals with doing something that really isn’t allowed. Appropriation, of sorts. But with stories. A bit like ‘we Europeans’ have done with ‘you people’, right?” In the preview of Pocahontas Ariadna explores her confused identity with a sense of guilt, but also with pride.
