(IM)POTENCIA (G/NO/ARG, 2010) documentary theater installation

"A strong piece with subjective-documentary power," Argentinian film maker Jeanine Meerapfel about (IM)POTENCIA.

The performance is dealing with the effects of the economic crisis for the people and city of Buenos Aires (Argentina) in 2001.Today the architect Nestor Piquero (58) describes 2001 for his family and himself as a period of anxiety, impotence and hope. Base of the performance are interviews with the inhabitants of Buenos Aires, the personal experiences of the authors and performers, images, sounds and objet trouves as subjective-documentary descriptions of everyday life in the post crisis of the metropolis. Urban culture of the so-called 'first' and 'third' world functions as a two-way distorting mirror for transformation processes within society.
