So, 'No Llores Cumbias, Cumbias Bailarás' is this fascinating documentary that tracks the journey of Benvenuto Chavajay, a Mayan conceptual artist, as he prepares for a performance. It starts in the Pompidou Centre, which feels so out of place yet intriguing, and then shifts to the streets of Guatemala City. The pacing is quite reflective, almost meditative at times, allowing you to soak in the cultural layers he navigates. What stands out is how seamlessly it blends traditional themes with contemporary performance art, and there’s this raw authenticity in Chavajay's approach. You can feel the emotional weight of the landscapes and the people he interacts with, which makes it a unique viewing experience.
