Description

Five bodies explore the rubble of an abandoned theater. In the heart of Latin America, the Variedades Theater was a cultural gem of the early 20th century. Today it lives in disguise of his deterioration in front of a street that few travel in Panama City. It was once the home of the great artists of the world, but little by little it became a cinema of films already released. Later it served as a porn cinema and bank nights, until it was robbed, destroyed and forgotten. Few citizens know its history and current state, but curiosity led to rediscovering the unusual spaces of this theater. This co-production is a provocation to take a trip to the historical memory of Panama. From the movement and the ruins of what was this building, we build part of the cultural legacy that every day acquires new varieties of forms and rhythms. This is a critique of current cultural detachment, social and identity marginalization and how it impacts us collectively.
