Teatro Principal (2020)

Bryan Konefsky · 3 min · Letterboxd ↗

A portrait of the Teatro Principal in Camagüey, Cuba. In making this film Konefsky thought about Conchita (the house manager of the theatre) and how maternal and nurturing her chair folding gesture was. Thinking about this film now, the artist hopes there is a thread of empathy embedded in the film –empathy for all the many, many theatres around the globe that are now closed due to Covid-19.

Teatro Principal screens once in London: Close-Up Film Centre, Saturday 26 September at 20:30.
