Whether it's unique lives, intersecting destinies, or deeply rooted stories, Mariano Pensotti has a gift for storytelling.
Here we encounter the story of Simon Frank, a Polish Jew who escaped from the Nazi camps and settled in the early sixties in a remote village in Argentina. There, amid his fields, he built a theater, but not just any theater: initially, it was the home of a very special set, a reproduction of the house where he lived in Poland. Not a house to live in, but to reenact his previous life. Little by little, the project gained momentum. The scenography expanded around the house, and the villagers began to participate in the performances as performers or technicians. Until one beautiful day everything is revealed: Simon Frank is not who he claims to be. Worse yet, the executioner has taken the place of his victim. The creator is an impostor. What can you do with this story? Make a play out of it, of course.
