Argentinian author and director Mariano Pensotti subtly and movingly exploits the theatrical machine of illusions. In Los Años, he creates a home for his characters in a theatrical split screen between the worlds of theatre and film. The plot is set in the present day, as well as 30 years later. In a curiously funny and tragically sad way, it tells the story of two stages in the life of a documentary filmmaker from Buenos Aires. In 2021, he achieves a professional breakthrough with a socially committed film portrait about a boy from a poor district. Then in 2051 his attempts to re-establish and continue his relationships with the people and places from the past fail. Both on the level of biographical hope and social utopia, “Los Años” speaks of the fatal difference between what we think we are becoming and what we really become.

Biography
Mariano Pensotti / Grupo Marea
Der argentinische Autor und Regisseur Mariano Pensotti (geboren 1973, Buenos Aires) wurde hierzulande durch seine Straßentheater-Produktion La Maréa (2005) bekannt. Nach seiner Inszenierung El pasado es un animal grotesco (2010), die in Europa, vielerorts, u.a. im Programm des Kunstenfestivaldesarts und beim Festival Theaterformen zu sehen war, und der Enzyklopädie des ungelebten Lebens (2010) für das Kunstfestival steirischer Herbst, hat er mit Sometimes I think, I can see you im selben Jahr eine Arbeit herausgebracht, die das Straßenleben einer zeitgenössischen Großstadt poetisch reflektiert und von Pensotti für EVAKUIEREN adaptiert wird. Seine jüngste Arbeit war Cineastas (2013). www.marianopensotti.com
