Overview
Florencia has an old box full of cassette tapes from her family home in Chile. As she starts listening to them in her room in London, she travels back in time and space, to when her family fled Argentina’s dictatorship and started recording audio letters to stay in touch with their loved ones.
Spanning four decades, Florencia Cordeu and director Omar Elerian (Misty, Going Through, NASSIM, One Cold Dark Night, Islands) create a moving and uplifting audio-visual experience that asks what it means to remember: as an individual, as a family, and as a country.
Age Recommendation: 12+
Critic reviews
BAC’s new season kicks off with Florencia Cordeu’s intriguing autobiographical show, based on tape-recordings of her Argentinian family’s exile in Chile
Exploration of personal and political history that is both intriguing and frustrating
Every night in this beautiful, textured, unassuming show Cordeu remakes the past and in that very act secures her future
Autoreverse is overstuffed with ideas to convey and covet the past, trying to weave it into a narrative that examines identity in a slowly shrinking world
An emotional family story about memory and time
The past constantly interacts with the present in Autoreverse and provides its most moving moments
