"Noviembre" is a film about a theater company made up by a group of friends, who want to act only in the street so that people can see theater for free. There is a political speech in front of capitalism, especially art market.
The reaction of spectators is funny because they don´t think that "Noviembre" (the name of company) act in public without being paid; actors don´t receive any money. The trouble is that they act without permission, then the police arrest the actors, they must often go to prison. Later, this company is famous and some producers want to sign them up, but they refuse anything related with money or acting inside a Theater.
It inspires me, because I think that drama is very exclusive through tickets, it`s expensive for general public. Concurrently, the state forbid artistic or cultural expressions in the street, it would be terrorism, so it`s complicated to do street theater in Chile, there is a repressive formality about all details of shows, places and time for permission. The movie "Noviembre" is an example of opposition to an economic system of art, moreover it exhibits a gesture of solidarity with the society, anybody has the possibility to see free theater.
