About the author
In 2021, two 10-year-old boys were playing with a sled on the frozen waters of a dam and disappeared on the brittle surface of the ice. In his script “SOL DE ENERO” Sebastián reworks the tragedy evoking the first rites of puberty and the violence that lurks like an enigma both within us and around us.
