Altar of Stars, Virgins, and Clowns

(Altar de Estrellas, Vírgenes y Payasos)

The circus never dies; it only changes its tent.

2025N/AAnimationDocumentary

Overview

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.
