Widely considered one of the most powerful and accurate versions of Shakespearean tragedies, the high contrast photography, the tough landscape and Shostakovich’s music in Gamlet constitutes an abominable and decadent space, without the need of adopting a naturalist code so that the film results in “cinematographic”.

Luisa is a woman who denies her loneliness after her husband died in an accident.

Stéfano

Argentina used to be a land of hopes and dreams. Stéfano by Armando Discépolo makes reference to that specific time in history, describing the hopes of an european immigrant who dreamed, in vain, about writing an opera.

Los Expedientes / Teczki

This is a “documentary play” where the artists use the secret files that the Communist government kept between 1975 and 1983, detailing information about themselves , their contacts and friends. This information is linked to some personal mails that the artists themselves wrote at that time. There are moments of a very painful confessional atmosphere. Los expedientes, which presents extremely painful testimonials, puts on stage a complex aesthetic and political universe where we are confronted with a harsh truth of which we are all part of.

Praga / República Checa: El agujero negro / Cerná díra

El Agujero Negro / Cerná Díra

The play is based on a minimum anecdote, very focused and narrowed within the stage space chosen: a mini-market at a Shell fuel station located in the central area of the United States,right in the 70’s.

México df/ México: Are you really lost?

Are You Really Lost?

Are you really Lost? is a performance where bodies and light, which has a leading role, combine music, poetry and movement, with a clear purpose of thinking about human being in relation to its existence , its fears and anxieties, caused by the contemporary world. The fact of having defined the title in English, which is taken from an album of a Chilean musician residing in Germany, definitely puts globalization in a very first place.

Respecting Shakespeare’s original text, the most updated english version proposes sudden changes in the reading of characters, placing them in a no man’s land, constantly crossed by the cultural industries’ imaginery.

Buenos Aires / Argentina: Alguien próximo

Alguien Próximo

Alguien próximo is a sort of experiment on the relationship between the closeness and that which doesn´t belong to us, as an unavoidable duality existing when two bodies meet. This play presents the body as an interrogation, as the unprecedented: that thing we still don´t know anything about. This becomes more suggestive when another body appears, thus causing an inevitable difference just by being there . The closeness of the bodies will imply receiving the “other”, entering in contact with him, getting involved by feelings, taking care and accepting each other as acts of pure responsibility, openness, and devotion.
