A 12-year-old girl living with her family in an Atacama desert mining town, where the cinema offers a distraction for its working-class residents.
 
Maria’s family, struggling to get by after her father suffers an injury working the mines, saves money by sending her to watch the movies, which she learns to recreate for them. As word of her ability to re-enact films spreads in the town, she finds herself performing for larger audiences.
 
 
 
Performance: Teatro Cinema
Theater company Teatro Cinema is one of the most genre-breaking groups around. Frustrated by the limits of stage and screen, the troupe fuses them by using a scrim between the stage and audience where images can be projected as actors move back and forth in time. Some images are photographs, others are hand-drawn, and still others are animated.
 
 
The Santiago, Chile-based troupe, which also has a home in Paris, comes to Shanghai. As part of the MDC Live Arts program, Teatro Cinema will perform its groundbreaking Historia de Amor. Members toiled for two years to put this piece together. As complex as the show sounds, it's a fluid experience for the audience.
 
 
 
Director: Juan Carlos Zagal
Juan Carlos Zagal (director and writer) trained as an actor at the Catholic University of Chile’s Theater School, graduating in 1987. He co-founded the La Troppa theater company with Laura Pizarro and Jaime Lorca that same year. Together they wrote, directed, produced, and performed in El Santo Patrono, Salmón-Vudú, Rap del Quijote, Pinocchio, Lobo, Viaje al Centro de la Tierra, Gemelos, and Jesús Betz.
 
 
Performing their plays worldwide, they have appeared at the most important festivals, such as Avignon, France, and at mainstream venues, such as Lincoln Center, New York. In 2005, Zagal co-founded a new company, TEATROCINEMA, and has participated in the creation of Sin Sangre (No Blood, 2007), El hombre que daba de beber a las mariposas (The Man Who Fed Butterflies, 2010), Historia de amor (Love Story, 2013), and La contadora de películas (The Movie Teller, 2015) as director, co-writer, composer, and performer.
