Chiflón, El Silencio del Carbón

The mine collapses. A young miner is expelled from the coal mine in which he works. His only chance to keep working for the mining company is to head for the area of Chiflón del Diablo, known as one of the most dangerous places a miner can work in Chile. Based in part on the story El Chiflón del Diablo by Baldomero Lillo, a distinguished Chilean author, as well as research on the mining town of Lota in Chile, Chiflón, El Silencio del Carbón is a hauntingly beautiful, nonvocal marionette work that connects deeply with a broad family audience.
