Vampyr
By Manuela Infante
- Chile
- Spanish
- 95 minutes
- + 12 years
Manuela Infante’s new work, which lands at the Teatro a Mil International Festival 2025, is the third part of the non-human exploration that began with “Estado Vegetal” and “Cómo convertirse en piedra”. Here she appropriates the myth of the European vampire and creates a mockumentary of delirious black humor, starring sudacas vampires.
Vampyr is a mockumentary about stubborn creatures who refuse to obey the mandate of the nature/culture divide; They are half dead, half animal, half alive, half earth and half human. Stubbornly indeterminate beings that wander disoriented, sometimes like bats, sometimes like night workers, through the wind turbine parks that are erected without regulation in the territories of Chile. Vampyr offers a complex look at exhaustion and energy, work and rest. A work of delirious black humor, about the relationship with the non-human animals that inhabit our territories and how we connect with their cultures when thinking about our energy projections for the future.
