In Search of Memory
El Pais evokes both Robert Lepage (for the road-movie mood) and Milo Rau (for the documentary side). At the crossroads of such influences, La Tristura company put on a good face. The subject of CINE is no small matter either: through the quest of the protagonist who tries to find his real parents, Itsaso Arana and Celso Giménez evoke the tragedy of nearly 300000 babies stolen in Spain during Francoism. A painful and widely ignored memory that doesn’t yield to pathos or one-way denunciation. Someone sings a song: Vamos a ponernos a vivir (Let’s start to live!).
When they were twenty, Celso Giménez, Itsaso Arana and Violeta Gil founded La Tristura while they’re still studying at Drama School in Madrid. La Tristura is one of the most remarked companies of the Spanish scene that’s already been invited to Chantiers d’Europe with « Materia Prima».
