Aquarela

Water is the main protagonist, seen in all its great and terrible beauty. Mountains of ice move and break apart as if they had a life of their own. Travelling the world, from the precarious frozen waters of Russia’s Lake Baikal, to Miami in the throes of Hurricane Irma, to Venezuela’s mighty Angel Falls, in order to paint a portrait of this fluid life force in all of its glorious forms. Meanwhile, fragile humans experience life and death, joy and despair, in the face of its power.

“grandiose, sense-pummelling documentary ride…combination of technological ingenuity and crazy human bravado is at work here” (Variety)

Grade A! “is truly a theatrical experience that benefits from the dark, distraction-free nature of the theater, in which the cycles of water, from frozen lakes to hurricanes, becomes an all-consuming force.” (The Playlist)
