ASIAN SOUVENIR
Souvenir Asiático is the fifth stage production of the theatre company Los Animistas (The Animists), specialized in theatre of animation with puppets, objects and its relationship with theatre actors. Winner of the Colombian Dramaturgies Mise-en-scène Fellowship 2017 granted by the Ministry of Culture of Colombia.
We have come into contact, in this staging, with a touching and current theme (migration, the border and the tragedies that accompany it) through an efficient scenic exploration vehicle of extensive resources. This borderline-liminal piece, uses a kind of barge boat occupied by the spectators, whom observes around the incidences of the work, limited by three containers of different sizes and other alternate spaces, as well as a 4.1 sound environment that enriches the effect of transit. The audience observes from there six fragmented situations of beings that are wavering between marginality and uncertainty.
Souvenir Asiático Trailer
An exploration around the scenic space; around the condition of spectator; around that disturbing relationship between puppets and actors and their link with the one that looks; around the dialogue and the means of issuing the dialogue; around the scenographic resources and the audio and audio-visual device that we have developed; all this is part of this new theatrical deed.
The work has been presented in places and events such as Teatro La Candelaria, Teatro Colón, Festa Festival, Ibero-American Theater Festival and platforms such as the Via and Palco organized by the Ministry of Culture of Colombia.
