About

CINECITY: REAS (directed by Lola Arias)

A creative queer musical where the former inmates of a women's prison in Buenos Aires rewrite their own life stories and perform them through song and dance.

For many years director Lola Arias (Theatre of War) has collaborated with former prisoners; she has been especially interested in the lives of cis and trans people, who find themselves incarcerated for different offences, and how they deal with it inside. In this award-winning collective work, the performers re-enact their lives in prison and invent a liberating new future through theatre.

‘Reas is a masterpiece of possibilities, a documentary which shows the resilience of our human spirit and how hope, art and just a little imagination can change the walls built around us into open air spaces’ International Cinephile Society
