Sobre un atardecer en Saturno 

Through mediation, we approach an interval of reality. Is it possible to create an uninoculated record of reality? The products we see on social media, on television, and in movies are realities constructed through a camera and the editing of audiovisual material. Could these audiovisual products reflect those discursive points chosen by the “redeeming peace recipe dealers” Suely Rolnik speaks of? How aware are we of this when watching the news, an interview, or a documentary? 
Representation, if it is a credible construction, replaces reality. Following this idea, together with audiovisual director Javier Becerra, we decided to produce a mockumentary to explore this non-border between reality and representation.
To this end, we planned to make a documentary about the dance work "Un atardecer en Saturno" (A Sunset on Saturn), introducing a fictional element within it: the denunciation by a nonexistent sectarian group of the distortion of the contents and symbols that appear in the dance, which this group claims to be its own.
