Songs at the end of the world

“Antarctica is the last place where you may drop down, when you shake the earth and can’t stay put anywhere else.”

Inspired by this quote from the documentary Encouters at the End of the World by German filmmaker Werner Herzog, Wunderbaum and Touki Delphine will cooperate for a second time, six years after Lost Chord Radio. Wunderbaum, a Dutch-Flemish group of actors/musicians performs a high-energy concert spectacle about dreams, choices and possibilities set in Antartica.

Available Now: SuttonBeresCuller | To Be Determined

OntheBoards.tv presents a first for the site – a filmed installation. In September 2011 SuttonBeresCuller, Seattle’s leading art collective, premiered an installation/performance that transformed On the Boards' building from a recognizably respectable institution to a delightfully convoluted artistic tangle with unconventional surprise performances at every turn.

It's the film you've been waiting for!  El pasado es un animal grotesco traveled across the US and around the world to great acclaim and now we are delighted to bring it to you!

El pasado es un animal grotesco

It’s 1999 in Buenos Aires. Mario, Laura, Pablo, and Vicky are in their mid-twenties and ready for careers, love, and adulthood. Over the next decade, Argentina’s economy will collapse and their lives will take a series of unexpected turns. In this fast-paced, multilayered “mega fiction,” director Mariano Pensotti deftly unfolds the lives of these 4 characters. El pasado es un animal grotesco is a funny and moving portrait that takes place atop a slowly spinning turntable stage.
