Fait Vivir

septiembre 19 @ 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm

In a lost town in the tropics, a ruler banned dances, songs and celebrations. This is how Makondo starts, a performance created by the GKO Orchestra, a band of musicians, dancers and circus actors from different parts of the world. Fait vivir recounts, through Manuk, a five-year-old boy, the legend of this ingenious and unusual group. His imaginative and poetic gaze intertwines the ‘andariego’ record of these artists through different Colombian towns and cities with the “staging” of their show. Likewise, the fantasy of our narrator allows us to get to know the daily life of its creators and the deep dream that feeds this project that invites freedom and movement.
Screening followed by a Q&A with director Oscar Ruiz Navia.
