El Desencanto and El silencio de otros coming to Regent Square Theater

The Silence of Others / El silencio de otros

Friday June 7 to Thursday June 20

The Silence of Others reveals the epic struggle of victims of Spain's 40-year dictatorship under General Franco, who continue to seek justice to this day. Filmed over six years, the film follows victims and survivors as they organize the groundbreaking "Argentine Lawsuit" and fight a state-imposed amnesia of crimes against humanity, in a country still divided after four decades of democracy.

The Disenchanted / El Desencanto

Sunday June 16 and Wednesday June 19th.

Directed by Jaime Chávarri (who was influenced by Grey Gardens), El Desencanto is the fragmented story of the Paneros, a brilliant and tormented literary family whose eccentricities and taboo-smashing exhibitionism turned them into a phenomenon in Spain the year after Francisco Franco died. The film is a national classic, valued and remembered both for the role it played in the country's transition to democracy and for the Paneros' singular strangeness.

 

97 min / Not Rated / Featuring Felicidad Blanc, Juan Luis Panero, Leopoldo María Panero, Michi Panero / Documentary Directed by Jaime Chávarri / Spain 1976

In Spanish with subtitles

Thu 05/09 | “Performing the Personal Archive” Artist Talk by Kairiana Núñez Santaliz

"Performing the Personal Archive" Artist Talk by Kairiana Núñez Santaliz  Thursday, May 9, 2019 6:00-8:00 pm Hemispheric Institute 20 Cooper Square, 5th Floor New York, NY 10003 *Live video broadcast will be available here starting at 6:00 pm (EST) RSVP on Facebook "Performing the Personal Archive" is a journey through the work of Puerto Rican actor and scenic athlete Kairiana Núñez Santaliz. In this talk, Núñez Santaliz describes her process as anchored in the adaptation and appropriation of theatrical and non-theatrical materials, including social, poetic, and embodied texts. She frames her work as an interweaving of personal and collective narratives rooted in queer thought and practice, challenging the structures of traditional theater and the island's colonial cultural production. Kairiana Núñez Santaliz is a Puerto Rican artist and theater educator for children, youth, and the elderly. Autobiographical and epistolary materials, dogs, dreams, and the Puerto Rican colonial situation are some of the topics that influence her work. As part of Northwestern University's Puerto Rican Art Initiative, she is currently developing a performance using archival materials belonging to her uncle, playwright, director, and charismatic anti-establishment figure, Pedro Santaliz. Núñez Santaliz graduated from the Department of Drama at the University of Puerto Rico, and joined El Nuevo Teatro Pobre de América in 1996. She was a founding member of Jóvenes del 98 —a street theater group directed by Maritza Pérez Otero— and continued her training with Puerto Rican artists like Rosa Luisa Márquez, Teresa Hernández, and Viveca Vázquez. While living in Argentina, she trained under Mirta Bogdasarian and Ricardo Bartís in the Sportivo Teatral, and was a member of Quinto Piso and Colectivo El Rizoma. She was awarded the Special Jury Prize at the Mar del Plata International Film Festival for her role in El silencio del viento, a film by Puerto Rican filmmaker Álvaro Aponte Centeno. Her most recent works include Espírita Santaliz, Chiquitita o Miss Miller - the Parachute Woman, La basquetbolista, and Mónica.  Add to your Google Calendar   This event is free and open to the public.
