About The Film
At the end of the 1960s, Argentine artist Leandro Katz participated in Theatre of the Ridiculous, an eccentric group linked to New York's queer underground. This film-essay moves between archives, testimonies, and specters of the past that question the present. Photography, film, video, and sound intertwine to approach, if only in brief flashes, that mythical past and raise questions about time, art, sexuality, death, and cinema.
