Tú AMARÁS

  • Dirección de Andreina Olivari, Pablo Manzi Compañía Bonobo
  • De Pablo Manzi
  • Country: Chile
  • Premiere: 2018
  • Target audience: +15 years
  • Length: 75 minutes

A group of Chilean doctors is preparing a presentation for an international conference on humanitarian aid. What does my enemy do to you? How do I make you my enemy? And now you’re my enemy, what do I do with you? These are some of the questions asked when trying to defend dignity, the right that makes us human.

Since their very first production, the Bonobo company has aimed to question and reflect on the democratic society in Chile. By using and building up an atmosphere of fear, humor and danger in the new production Tú Amarás, they want to help the audience redefine and take another look at a kind of violence which, in their opinion, has become normal in democratic societies.
