Nada es como antes
By Martin Erazo and Sebastián Pereira | Directed by Sebastián Pereira
- Chile
- Spanish
- 25 minutes
- + 13 years
A tragicomic documentary that might get one of the most emblematic street theater companies in the country into so much trouble that it could mean the end for them.
La Patogallina, an emblematic Chilean theater company with a career spanning more than 25 years, is waiting for the pandemic to end and theaters to open again so that it can put on a live performance of its new show.
In the meantime and in order to keep working, the company has accepted the challenge of making an audiovisual televised version of Shakespeare’s classic, Romeo and Juliet.
With the increase in popularity of cameras, this documentary is the record of a theatrical process that not only puts the company’s future but also that of theater and the film itself at risk.
That is not all though. Nada es como antes also looks into the reality of the performing arts in Chile and the uncertainty they face versus the momentum of a collective dream that appears to be fading into obscurity as a result of the pandemic.
