Iron Butterfly

2017

Sinopsis

In the living room of an apartment of a young woman who lives alone in Bogotá, the public, sitting on her furniture and on the floor, observes her closely, upon her arrival from work. Through soundscapes and cinematographic atmospheres projected on all the walls, ceiling and floor of the room, the public witnesses details of her intimacy flowing between the concrete and the dreamlike of his existence in a Colombia plunged in violence. 

The piece was motivated by the peace process that started in 2016, after more than seven decades of armed conflict in Colombia. Jorge and Juana were in the midst of the creative process as the peace process unfolded and it forced them to look at their own experience: young people from the urban middle class, from the big cities, who continued to live their life “normally” while the country bled to death. Jorge lived this experience between the 80s and 90s, Juana lived another chapter of the same history 15 years later.
