The youth go to their neighborhood market in Satellite City
In the market they buy an offering to bless the imminent tour in the Theater-Truck
The offering to Pachamama, Mother Earth
"Pijchando", chewing, coca
In front of the fire, the youth dare to speak of their greatest hopes for the future
Tintín improvises a dialogue with his character, el Yatiri, who speaks to him in Aymara. Tintín only partly understands, and this fact provokes a crisis where he decides he doesn't dare to manifest this dead medicineman. He decides to leave the role to the understudy, and not accompany the group on tour...
An animation shows the troupe leaving El Alto in the Theater Truck and going to the bus terminal. Everyone makes loads of noise in the truck... except Tintín.
At the terminal, the troupe gets on the bus for Cochabamba, and leaves Tintín behind.
The troupe and the German volunteers set up the Theater Truck for the first time
Ready for their first audience
They bring out the neighbors, their audience, with drums
Just before getting on stage, the actors realize that they are missing key props, and it's obvious that they aren't as ready as they had thought. The lack of leadership is obvious.
They put on the play anyways
And they get the attention and laughter of their audience
Despite this, as they discuss the next day, it's obvious the troupe is not happy with the show. There were many errors, and Maya in particular doubts that they have affected the audience as much as they had hoped.
The youth continue their tour, but there's little connection with their audience,
on and off stage
on and off stage
