GEMELOS
- De Teatrocinema (ex La Troppa)
- Country: Chile
- Premiere: 1999
- Target audience: +10 years
- Length: 105 minutes
25 years after its premiere, Teatrocinema is once again presenting one of the most fundamental plays of the chilean stage. Based on the novel Le grand cahier by Agota Kristof.
Gemelos (Twins) is the story of two children who feel and think identically. When the times of the Great War arrive, their mother leaves them in the custody of their grandmother in a small town, far from love, warmth and any certainty. From that moment on, the twins are forced to begin a self-learning process that will allow them to survive pain, hunger, permanent humiliation, abandonment, abuse, corruption, death and, finally, their own definitive separation.
Gemelos (Twins) marked a milestone by proposing a new theatrical language, a profound and moving work that transcends to this day for its powerful visuality great acting, and technical deployment. Based on the novel Le grand cahier by Agota Kristof, this production has also gained recognition in countries in America, Europe, and Asia.

Biographies:
Teatrocinema
In 2005, the Teatrocinema company was born when its founders, Laura Pizarro and Zagal, together with a multidisciplinary artistic collective, embarked on the experimentation and research of mixing, fusing, melting (and confusing) essential elements of theater, cinema, photography. , comics, both 2D and 3D animation, literature, musical composition and live action on stage.
Its founders, after having completed a creative cycle of 18 fruitful years as La Troppa, share and pour their experience together with this group of creators in the search for a new, own, unique language, achieving the concept of The Theater of light and Instant travel in time and space. The body, the actress, the actor and the matter are organically enveloped by the visual, virtual, sound and musical game, coming to inhabit beyond the two and three dimensions, opening and proposing a compositional “multiverse”.
The company has created the works Without blood (2007), The man who gave the butterflies a drink (2010), Love story (2013), The film teller (2015), The song of the earth (2018), The Mo's Dream (2018), Duck, Duckling (2019), Burnt Silver (2019), Kaori (2022) and Rosa (2022). These creations have been sponsored and sponsored by national organizations and institutions (Ministry of Culture and the Arts, Teatro a Mil Foundation and Corpartes Foundation) and international organizations (Scène Nationale de Sète, France; Le Manège – Mons, Belgium; Edinburgh International Festival, United Kingdom; Naples Theater Festival, Italy).
