Patricia Garza my very sharp associate here at Center Theatre Group compiled the following information that supports the work that we both saw in New York City with Under the Radar 2016 and then subsequently the work that I saw in Santiago at the Teatro a Mil Festival and heard about earlier at the Nooderzone Festival in Groningen, Holland.
Teatro Cinema

Chile’s TEATROCINEMA is an inventive and original theatre
company who create an ingenious fusion of cinema and theatre. Their highly
stylized staging is a seamless blend of live action and film projection –
technical and theatrical wizardry.
Their show Historia De Amor will be at REDCAT March
31-April 3, 2016: http://www.redcat.org/event/teatrocinema-historia-de-amor-chile
Chile’s imaginative Teatrocinema
ensemble uses 2D and 3D projection effects to create a theatrical environment
rich with the grit and imagery of a dark graphic novel, to tell a violent story
that destroys the boundaries between domination and submission. Based on the
French novel by Régis Jauffret, Historia
de Amor is the unflinching portrait of an English teacher who
abducts a young woman and turns her into his victim, concubine and mother.
Teatrocinema uses striking imagery to fuse virtual and physical
worlds, painting a stark, black and white landscape where impulses of
humanity are made visible. The visual language of Teatrocinema uses
digital backgrounds and compositions, 2D and 3D video footage, and animation,
merged with the traditional elements of staging, creating the sensation that
the audience is able to instantaneously travel in space and time.
