The company
Artists portraying Chile's history
The collective is one of the most important ensembles of the Chilean theater scene, with more than 20 years of trajectory dedicated to the rescue of popular and street theater. They have developed a language of great acting, sound and visual energy and usually deal with current themes, mostly related to Chile’s history. They have participated in festivals in Europe, America and Asia, and have staged shows such as El húsar de la muerte (2001) and Paloma ausente (2017), among others.
-Because it is especially designed to capture the interest of the new generations, with a pop aesthetic and typical elements of urban culture. Nonetheless, the text fully respects Pablo Neruda's version of Shakespeare's play.
-Because, according to the director of the play, Martín Erazo, this is the first time that La Patogallina takes the challenge of expanding its work to the audiovisual area, giving its creation an unmistakable language of its own. This is a trait that can be appreciated not only in the aesthetics of the characters, but also, for example, in the action scenes and in the incorporation of live music into the staging.
William Shakespeare: English playwright and poet (1564-1616), an undisputed classic of universal literature and theater, and a master when it comes to portraying feelings such as pain, betrayal, love and jealousy in his characters. It is for this reason that his plays -Hamlet, King Lear, Othello, Romeo and Juliet and A Midsummer Night's Dream, among others- are still in full force and are read and performed all over the world.

Romeo y Julieta
By William Shakespeare | Translation by Pablo Neruda | Directed by Martín Erazo | Company: Colectivo La Patogallina | Adaptation: Víctor Carrasco and Martín Erazo | Audiovisual Direction: Vicente Saba
- Chile
- Spanish
- 81 minutes
Shakespeare's classic tragedy, turned into a very current telenovela by La Patogallina.
The Montagues are metalheads. The Capulets, “reggaetoneros”. In parties where Pablo Chill-E and Santaferia are playing, Romeo and Juliet give free rein to a love with a tragic ending, narrated in a soap opera style, and located in an attractive urban setting, staged by the national company La Patogallina.
Under the direction of Martín Erazo, the director of the collective, and with several guest artists, La Patogallina's proposal brings a version of Romeo and Juliet to the small screen, with a translation by the poet Pablo Neruda, with Chilean influence, very recognizable characters and traditions, and with an audiovisual display - incorporating several recording sets - that extend the boundaries of the possibilities of traditional theater. Everything to turn Shakespeare's classic romantic tragedy into a pop soap opera: a very close, current and real one.
The play Romeo and Juliet is part of the cycle “Ni tan clásicos”, a Teatro a Mil production especially designed for the audiovisual format.

-Porque está especialmente pensada para captar el interés de las nuevas generaciones, con una estética pop y elementos propios de la cultura urbana, pero con un texto que respeta íntegramente la versión de Pablo Neruda para la obra de Shakespeare.
-Porque, según cuenta el director de la obra, Martín Erazo, esta es la primera vez que La Patogallina toma el desafío de expandir su trabajo hacia lo audiovisual, otorgándole a su creación un lenguaje propio e inconfundible. Rasgo que se aprecia no solo en la estética de los personajes, sino también, por ejemplo, en las escenas de acción y en la incorporación de música en vivo a la puesta en escena.
William Shakespeare: Este dramaturgo y poeta inglés (1564-1616) es un clásico indiscutido de la literatura y el teatro universal, y un maestro a la hora de retratar en sus personajes sentimientos como el dolor, la traición, el amor y los celos. Es por esa razón que sus obras -Hamlet, Rey Lear, Otelo, Romeo y Julieta y Sueño de una noche de verano, entre otras-, siguen plenamente vigentes y son leídas y montadas en todo el mundo.
