Altar of Stars, Virgins, and Clowns

Altar of Stars, Virgins, and Clowns

The circus never dies; it only changes its tent.

Cocoliche and Chocolate, two emblematic "Tonys" (a comedic clown central to Chilean circus culture) guide us through an intimate dialogue into the depths of their stage and their memories. As members of "Los Jóvenes del Ayer" a circus organization for seniors, they confront a question as inevitable as it is poetic: How do they imagine their final performance? In this narrative, the preparation of a final act intertwines with the creation of a symbolic altar.
