Los días afuera / The Days Out There

Los días afuera / The Days Out There is a musical, a variety show, a documentary, a piece of theatre and the second part of a project that began with the film Reas, which premiered at the Berlinale in 2024. A group of cis women and trans people who were living behind bars in various Argentinian prisons, reconstructed scenes from their past lives. 

The real lives of the protagonists become a fiction in which their life stories are interwoven from the point when they were released: Nacho becomes a taxi driver, Paula starts working in an illegal textile factory, Noelia becomes a sex worker again and advocates for the rights of trans people. She and the rest of the protagonists reconstruct the challenges of life after prison and share their most intimate longings. Theatre, dance and song turn into tools that help them claim a future for themselves. Which, nevertheless, remains uncertain – that’s how the future is after all. In Los días afuera / The Days Out There, Lola Arias, winner of the prestigious International Ibsen Prize in 2024, moves between voguing and cumbia melodies – an ode to freedom.
