Fer Rodil
Fer is a screenwriter. Fer wrote a movie—a Pirates of the Caribbean in local criollo style, with legendary creatures, action scenes, musical numbers, and CGI. Fer strongly believes it deserves a grand theatrical release. Determined to find producers for the film and looking for ideas to finish the script, he decided to put on a one-hour show to tell the plot to anyone who wants to help. Knowing him, there’s a good chance he’ll take the opportunity to complain about what it means to be an Argentine abroad.

Heleen van der Donck
Step into the Bearded Lady Café: a magical place where the worries of the outside world disappear. Here, with a song, a beer and a bitterbal, you can forget your misery for a little while.
Let yourself be carried away by the story of the owner: a woman who chose to live proudly with her beard. How are you a woman, but with a beard? How do you balance shame and pride in a world that looks at you differently? And who actually decides what beauty is?
