The Loneliness Machine (La Máquina de la Soledad) is a tribute to the letter-object and the postal mail. This Machine is an amplitude of a moment made by a precarious technology, tiny, invisible, which is activated whenever there is ink on the hands, in front a sheet of paper, a distance an absence. The Machine’s engines are memories that are being written with every found correspondence in antique markets of Mexico and Spain, with the archeology of objects, images and unusual anecdotes taken from interviewed scribes, retired postmen, post office workers and investigated files.

The Machine is a defoliated document in a space of micro-landscapes and inventories that reveal the negligible affections that matter shelters. An intimate journey of a documentary object theatre for 46 spectators.

The company Hermanos Oligor presented one of the shows that went down in history and memory of FIMFA, “Las Tribulaciones de Virgínia”, so the festival wanted to show their new delicate and sweet project.



BIO
This is the first project of the association of Shaday Larios from Microscopía Teatro and Jomi Oligor from Hermanos Oligor. Before this meeting each one of them felt an attraction and fascination towards objects, memory, micrology, mechanisms and fragility.
