Persistence of the memory

In 1971, some young Peruvian playwrights founded the group Yuyachkani, a Quechua word which means: "I am thinking, I am remembering. 25 years later, in 1996, the group celebrates its anniversary, performing a retrospective of its most important works, which allows them to think and remember about the scene they have traveled

Directed by Andrés Cotler, Persistence of the memory leans on a strong ensemble — Augusto Casafranca, Amiel Cayo, Julián Vargas — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 1998.
