Top Cultural Story
HEARD IT THROUGH THE GRAPEVINE
Chile’s Wineries
(April 1, 2005) Touring one of Maipo’s many vineyards is a nice way to escape the city smog, learn a little about the wine industry and most importantly, get a good buzz going.
Theater
CRAP’S LAST TAPE
(April 1, 2005) Before adventuring to Matucana 100 to see “Movimiento rápido del ojo (Rapid Eye Movement),” I should have read its synopsis more carefully. Whoever wrote the description for this play is indeed a talented person, able to camouflage the play’s nothingness with pompous words.
“A multimedia production where physical theater and a minimalist setting are the central elements that accompany the two characters,” says the synopsis. “The play rises from an investigation of the existential thematic, whose referents are Beckett’s ‘Krapp’s Last Tape’ and Edward Hopper’s work, contextualized in the conflict of the contemporary human being.”
Visual Arts
TEARS OF THE MOON
(April 1, 2005) Bellas Artes is hosting the biggest-ever exhibition of Mapuche silverware. But despite the exhibition’s impressive proportions, the 400 pieces on display, interspersed with Mapuche poet Elikura Chihuailaf’s work, provide only a sketchy outline of Mapuche culture.
CHILE’S VAN GOGH
(April 1, 2005) Edgardo Neira’s exhibition at Bellas Artes is a series of paintings that depict the life of “El Desorejado (The Earless Man).” Half of the exhibits are painted in pastel hues and the other half in vibrant reds, adding pieces of metal to some.
Film Review
‘LA ULTIMA LUNA’: A MIDDLE EASTERN FAILURE
(April 1, 2005) Director Miguel Littin said the purpose of his latest film, “La Ultima Luna (The Last Moon),” was to “generate debate.”
The ST Diary
COULD’VE FOOLED ME
(April 1, 2005) No one really knows why we ritually humiliate our friends each April 1. The legend goes that April 1 buffoonery began in 16th century France when Charles IX introduced the Gregorian Calendar. The reform meant that New Year’s Day was moved from April 1 to the January date we are all so familiar with today.
