"Do our fictions reflect the world, or is the world a distorted projection of our fictions?"
- Mariano Pensotti

Love, money, family, work, death, and McDonald's: the lives and films of four cineastas blend seamlessly in this tour de force from Argentinian auteur Mariano Pensotti.

A gorgeous bi-level stage frames the real lives and film lives of the characters over the course of a year in Buenos Aires. Can the two ever really be completely distinct? How does art influence real life?

Pensotti ingeniously adapts cinematic techniques - voice-over, fades, panoramic long takes - for the stage, resulting in an intricate portrait of a city, its inhabitants, and a specific epoch.

In Spanish with English surtitles.

**Please note there will be cigarette smoke and a strobe light used during this piece.*
