Mariano Pensotti

Cineastas

The Argentine director Mariano Pensotti returns to our festival with a new production. «Cineastas» combines the personal lives of four Buenos Aires filmmakers with the films they are shooting. The two-storey stage evokes a split screen. While the lower part provides an insight into the partially rather bleak everyday lives of the filmmakers Gabriel, Lucas, Mariela and Nadia, scenes from their cinematic works are displayed in the upper part. The ensemble switches between the two levels with verve and turns this theatrical exploration of the complex relationship between reality and fiction into a remarkably well-made spectacle. (esc)
