Closer to the Light

Synopsis

This film narrates the experiences of actors working on street theatre since the early 1980s, during the military dictatorship, and up to the present day. It shows how they have sought to transform the daily transit space of the city into a theatrical space of encounter, joy and reflection. The film discusses the social and artistic repercussions of this activity and invites to reflect on the meaning of making a public space one’s own, with or without permission, and to develop a theatrical show before the attention of passers-by spectators.
