Description

A story somewhere between theatre and documentary retracing Oscar Castro's resistance against the Chilean dictatorship.<p> Théâtre Aleph and La Comète Films present Cuervo, a theatrical reading inspired by the autobiographical text of Oscar Cuervo Castro, a Chilean playwright imprisoned under Pinochet. In the camps, he made theater a weapon of survival and resistance, transforming the lives of hundreds of prisoners. Fifty years later, his sons Cosme and Oscar travel to Chile, camera in hand, to confront their father's memory with testimonies and places marked by history. Between past and present, Cuervo intertwines art, memory, and the struggle against oppression.</p>
