Museum of the Night

1968, midnight. The Argentine artist Leandro Katz attends a performance by the Theatre of The Ridiculous in a New York pornographic cinema. The actors, exuberant, perform in drag, undress, and recite texts that blend high literature with queer slang. Fascinated by the experience, Katz decides to join the company as a collaborator. Between 1970 and 1976, he takes photographs, assists with lighting, and creates experimental works on film. However, he eventually leaves the company when the experience becomes too intense and his artistic work takes a different direction. Today, from his dimly lit apartment in Buenos Aires, Katz revisits his materials: images of the deceased, photographic records, slides, negatives, and works on film and video. He discovers an unfinished film believed to be lost. As the conversation and testimony unfold, attempting to approach those years, the specters of the past seep through.
