Review: Soy Andina
By Ben Jonjak
Documentaries are interesting in that they often set out to tell one tale and end up inadvertently telling another. In fact, this is the result that you hope for when you make such a film. Documentaries quest for a truth beyond the artificiality of scripted film-making and, in pursuit of that ambition, some documentary filmmakers will go to extreme lengths to limit their interaction with their subject matter (I’ve heard of some purists who refuse to even open a window to improve the lighting of their shots as it destroys the “truth” of their film).

A different lunch
By Larry J. Pittman
The other day I was sitting enjoying my lunch with friends and family in a chifa (a Peruvian-Chinese restaurant). We were having a very good conversation about this and that. At the end of the lunch, as I was walking from the restaurant, I pondered on the difference between my lunches in Peru as compared to the U.S.

Cusco Legacy
By Pablo Vásquez
In Peru, we all know that pictures of the Cusco School deserve a very important place in the discussion, research and trade of local art. But little is known of its history, importance and contributions to universal art.

Centro Shama: From the streets of Lima to new possibilities
Aprendizaje, he articulated slowly. "Sorry?" I queried, looking up from fervently scribbling notes. "We say aprendizaje," he repeated, correcting my Spanish pronunciation. "Wow, thanks Victor, correcting me really helps me improve," I responded surprised by his confidence. With his round glasses and wizened grin, he did not at all seem 12 years old. "No problem, it is through our mistakes that we learn to be better."read more »

Bundle up!
By Larry J. Pittman
Lima on the brink of winter. Somehow the image of living in South America doesn’t include cold foggy days. And yet it is just the way Lima is in the winter. It is the beginning of July, and the cold season is beginning. Cold here may mean down to 12 degrees Celsius (about 55 degrees Fahrenheit). Not really that cold by European or North American standards. But all things are relative.

Review: La Prueba
By Pierluigi Bellini
'La Prueba' (Proof) came with great expectations from the local audience, since it's one of the most recognized and awarded contemporary plays. Being myself a devoted fan of David Auburn's work in theater and films, there's always a great fear when it comes to seeing one of his plays on stage. It's the cast that is so fundamental in character-driven stories like this one, but as soon as the play started I was very pleased with almost everything that was on stage, especially the cast, or most of it.This play tells the story of a mathematical family in Chicago and a mystery about the authorship of one mathematical proof that's going to change math history. We meet the troubled Catherine, still devastated by a family loss, and her search for true connection with her father, Robert, also a known mathematician. Across this emotional journey inside Catherine's mind, there's Hal, a former student of Robert's class, who is very interested in his last works, and Claire, Catherine's elder sister that has come all the way from New York to look after her sister.
