Moonlight

By Anna Alvarez Compañia, CASA Festival and The Arcola

“Moonlight (Ch'Isi)” uses the languages of dance, theatre and video projection to tell the story of a young woman seeking to trace her family ancestry to better understand her own identity and legacy.  Exploring the mythical and real worlds of three generations of, it travels deep into the roots of Mapuche culture and the tension between these and modern urban life.
