Rodrigo Garcia (1964, San Isidro)
RODRIGO GARCIA

During The Raft. Art is (not) lonely, Rodrigo Garcia (b. 1964, Buenos Aires) films a scene from one of his theatre pieces, Arrojad mis cenizas en Eurodisney. Performer Juan Loriente stands in front of an aquarium. One by one, he throws hamsters into the aquarium, supposedly teaching them to swim. They thrash around trying to stay above water, and repeatedly, Juan takes them out of the water before they sink. Is this funny, tragic or simply sadistic?
