Experiencing Interruptions?

Slaughterhouse

The wander. Feeling lost and blinded. The heavy and the light. The tense body. The search for freedom. The moment of our own redemption.

Director Statement

Matadero was born under the eaves of reflection on personal processes of human becoming, and likewise, of becoming itself. To be able to visualize the ballast of the unresolved. To reflect the slow and heavy, to dream of the lightness of the freedom of being. To be able to observe the pain, visualize the path traveled and long for that turning point that changes everything again and again.
