La Memoria de los Sésiles

Show Information

The play takes place in a not-too-distant future where all the trees have been cut down by an uncontrolled real estate expansion. Sacha, an old hermit will embark on a journey deep underground in the face of the inevitable destruction of his home. Accompanied by Tujo, a rebellious young environmentalist, they will go in search of the last living roots to, through their memories, the path that will allow them to make the forest emerge again. Created in the key of family theater, it seeks, through songs, light games, and an attractive staging, to reflect on the persistence of the memory of territories at times when the destruction of ecosystems has expanded and naturalized. Directed by Gabriel Contreras and written by Nicolás Cancino-Said, this is the second installment of the so-called “Territorial Trilogy,” a series of works that began with the work “Puerto Seco: Once upon a time the sea” that seek to reflect on the relationship between communities, the territories they inhabit, companies, and the socio-environmental conflicts that arise from that relationship.

In Spanish with English subtitles.
