La Mexicaine De Perforation (The Mexican Consolidated Drilling Authority) is a subdivision of a French group called the UX (for Urban eXperiment). They provide clandestine artistic events.[1]
In September 2004, French police discovered an underground movie theatre run by La Mexicaine De Perforation. The makeshift theatre contained a movie screen, a well stocked bar, and a kitchen. Telephones and electricity were brought in from an unknown location. Movie titles ranging from 1950s classics to modern thrillers were also discovered. When the police returned for a formal investigation, all the equipment had disappeared—all that was left was a note on the floor reading, "Ne cherchez pas" ("Do not search").
[edit] Notes
- ^ Henley, Jon (September 11, 2004). "Paris's new slant on underground movies: Clandestine group reveals how it built its cinema beneath the city". The Guardian (Manchester: Guardian Media Group). http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2004/sep/11/film.france. Retrieved April 24, 2011. "There are, at most, 15 of them. Their ages range from 19 to 42, their professions from nurse to window dresser, mason to film director. And in a cave beneath the streets of Paris, they built a subterranean cinema whose discovery this week sent the city's police into a frenzy... Until recently very few people did have a clue about La Mexicaine de la Perforation, a clandestine cell of "urban explorers" which claims its mission is to "reclaim and transform disused city spaces for the creation of zones of expression for free and independent art"."
