I PROMISE YOU A LONG FRIENDSHIP
TE PROMETO UNA LARGA AMISTAD
By Jimena Repetto
SYNOPSIS | SINOPSIS
The friendship between Victoria Ocampo, Argentina's greatest cultural manager, and Benjamin Fondane, a Romanian avant-garde poet, can be read as a metaphor for the cultural movement of the 1930s and how many of their productions find a common destiny between loss and oblivion. Laura and Lalo, two actors from the underworld, take a tour in which they replenish the archive of photos, letters and testimonies, which give an account of this bond and the audacious projects that were born.
La amistad entre Victoria Ocampo, la mayor gestora cultural argentina, y Benjamin Fondane, un poeta vanguardista rumano, puede leerse como metáfora del movimiento cultural de los años treinta y de cómo muchas de sus producciones encuentran un destino común entre la pérdida y el olvido. Laura y Lalo, dos actores del under, realizan un recorrido en el que reponen el archivo de fotos, cartas y testimonios, que dan cuenta de este vínculo y de los audaces proyectos que vio nacer.
