Lola Arias
Lola Arias is an Argentinian artist based in Berlin, and a theatre and film director, filmmaker and author. Her productions blur the boundaries between reality and fiction, bringing together people from different backgrounds (war veterans, refugees, sex workers, etc.) in projects involving theatre, film, literature, music and visual art. Since 2007, she has been developing documentary theatre with works such as My Life After (2009), That Enemy Within (2010), Melancholy and Demonstrations (2012), about her mother's depression, Minefield (2016), which brings together British and Argentinian veterans, and Happy Nights (2023), featuring dancers and sex workers. In 2018, her first feature film Theatre of War was selected for the 68th Berlinale Film Festival Forum and received several awards, while her second film Reas (2024) premiered at the 74th edition of the same festival. In 2024, she was also awarded the Ibsen Price for lifetime achievement and presented her new work Los días afuera throughout Europe.

Lola Arias Los días afuera
At the crossroads between musical and documentary, Lola Arias brings us a choral composition in which six female former inmates talk about their lives during and after incarceration. Their six intertwining destinies raise questions about the various forms of violence present in contemporary society, whilst exploring the margins of fiction and reality at the same time.
