"María Isabel es una obra que vale la pena ver, no solo por la conmemoración de los 50 años del golpe de Estado, sino porque las preguntas que plantea siguen vigentes y sería interesante conocer los resultados del estudio de ese entonces y, quizás, una comparación con lo que ocurre en los partidos políticos de hoy, para ver qué tanto hemos evolucionado en temas de género”.

María Isabel
Directed by Ana Luz Ormazábal | Playwriting by Juan Pablo Troncoso | Original idea by Ana Luz Ormazábal y Camila González
- Chile
- + 14 years
Directed by the acclaimed director Ana Luz Ormazábal, this staging explores the figure of María Isabel Matamala, a physician and former member of the Revolutionary Left Movement (MIR), and how she and other women wrote a feminist manifesto while they were detained in Tres Álamos.
The figure of María Isabel Matamala is the central character of the staging that recounts and recalls an investigation that never saw the light of day. This Chilean doctor wrote, together with other militants, a feminist manifesto that spoke of the discriminatory reality of women within a revolutionary party while they were prisoners in Tres Alamos. Full of data, dates, stories, reflections, and questions, the document was taken out of the detention center and sent clandestinely to the CIMADE, but when it arrived in France and was handed over to the MIR, the document disappeared.
What was it like to be a feminist within the MIR? What historical changes do we see and what remains to be done? What happened to these texts? These are some of the questions that guide the project.

“María Isabel es una obra aguda, que trabaja la memoria con un sentido crítico inapelable pero que no recurre a emociones desbordadas. El destape de ciertas verdades incómodas sucede con ritmo y lucidez. Una idea jugada y una puesta en escena redonda”.
