Although a large percentage of Bogotá's citizens take advantage of the end of Holy Week to get out of the routine and travel, those who stay in the capital will be able to enjoy a wide variety of cultural activities between Holy Thursday and Easter Sunday. Here, some plans.
Between 14 and 17 April, the Japanese film Drive My Car, winner of the Oscar Award for Best Foreign Film, will be presented at the Bogotá Cinematheque, which is based on a story by Hariku Murakami of the same name. The film Objetos Rebeldes also arrives from Costa Rica, which will be presented from Thursday to Sunday and tells the story of Carolina, a woman who, through archaeology, finds new ways to face death. Finally, Friday 15 April will be presented Pedro Almodóvar's latest film, Parallel Mothers, which tells the story of the lives of two women who, after giving birth on the same day in the same hospital, share a very special connection.
There are only a few days left until the end of the FITB. In the last few days, works will be presented for all audiences. For children, there are the plays Little Red Riding Hood, The Treasure of the Dorado and Gaspar, the Lord of the Clouds, a staging by the puppeteer brothers Iván Darío and César Santiago Álvarez. Additionally, HA HA HA! , from Belgium, will present a clown show on Thursday, Friday and Saturday,
There will also be space for works reflecting on the armed conflict in Colombia and forced displacement with Unveils, a song to four winds, the work of the Truth Commission that brings together more than 100 artists and members of various communities in the country; and History of a Sheep, a moving piece by Fabio Rubiano on the migrations.
In addition, there will be presented, from Argentina, Brief Encounters with Repulsive Men; La canción del norte, from the United States; the Spanish piece El perdón; and the Colombian works Readings al Fuego, the series and Three Short and Absurd Works.
In the framework of this festival, Guadalupe will be presented, years without account, created almost half a century ago and which tells the story of Guadalupe Salcedo and the guerrillas of the plain; Ezequiel, a monologue about a man who seeks to found a new land. There will also be “Achilles or the guerrilla”, a work that starts from the assassination of Carlos Pizarro (April 30, 1990) to reflect on the violence we have experienced for several decades, proposing from the very poetics of theater to dream peace, create scenarios of coexistence and progress. This is the pedagogical nature of our collective creation, emphasizing the need for young people and the general public to know and recognize this event in Colombia's recent history.
