Exihibition on the mianlevel of the museum in a spiral temporary exhibition space. The pride of highlighting to facets of chilean culture are clear. Documenting the history of chilean theatre, great actors and preformances was important to Combeau as his devocion the dramatic arts over many years is clear. The pictures do go beyond that. The stage pictures have the quality of film stills the electricity of the preformance as if the you, the audience member are completely emersed in the action of the play.
Combeau´s work is now transformed to a collection of ennactments, the costumes and set designs aren´t great but so highly romanticized for me in the 2000´s.
Combeau an expat in chile made started his career talking pictures in of theatrical productions particularly in univercity theaters. His career took off as an ad photographer he kept up doing the theater work and is qouted to have said that it was the only work worth saving.
