Los días afuera
Lola Arias
Approx. 1h45
Between 2022 and 2023, Argentine director Lola Arias immersed herself in the world of Buenos Aires prisons, meeting women and transgender people convicted of drug trafficking.
She made a film about it, REAS, which was shown at Berlinale 2024, as well as this show, Los días afuera (The Days Outside), which combines theatre with live and archive footage, music, dance, and singing – like a twisted version of a Broadway musical.
Straddling the line between documentary and fiction, the show lends a voice to six of these people who spent time in prison and are now free. Noelia, Estefania, Paula, Yoseli, Ignacio, and Carla talk about their journeys, their dreams, their failures, their desire to reclaim their destiny through music and to imagine a new future for themselves.
