Minga de una casa en ruinas / Minga. Moving a Derelict House
Colectivo Cuerpo Sur, Chile
[recommended for ages 15 and up ]
»In a sensitive yet powerful way, the actress takes us to the world of an old Chilean tradition and skilfully draws a connection to current debates around a throw-away society.« — The Curators
The play »Minga« is inspired by a local tradition on the island of Chiloé: Everyone helps out to move the entire house across land or ocean to its new place. Fragments of a derelict house are moved from one location to another, thereby connecting different plots. How many houses, how many homes do we need to destroy before we know who we are? Can we create a new future from the remains of these houses?
