VILLA
Direction and playwriting Guillermo Calderón
- Chile
- + 14 years
After touring the world, Guillermo Calderón's acclaimed play, which questions the place of memory and the traces left by human rights violations in Chilean society today, returns to the local theater.
Villa puts on stage three women discussing how to remodel Villa Grimaldi, the main torture and extermination center of the Pinochet dictatorship. What to do: rebuild the house demolished by the military, build a modern museum? The debate reflects the real discussions taking place in human rights organizations that defend the memory of survivors.
Villa has been presented at the former torture centers José Domingo Cañas, Londres 38, and Villa Grimaldi in Santiago, at the Parque de la Memoria in Buenos Aires, and at festivals in Vienna, Edinburgh, Paris, Madrid, Lisbon, Düsseldorf, Sarajevo, Sao Paulo, Brasilia, Montevideo and Lima, among others.

“Una discusión depurada de toda condescendencia de las políticas de la memoria. Una obra que interpela el presente de la interminable dictadura chilena”
- Revista Errata
“Villa es tres cosas a la vez: una comedia fotorrealista sobre la decisión de un comité, un audaz Sin Salida y un grito de angustia”
-Time Out New York
“Villa es un sutil trabajo de teatro político escrita por una emocionante voz contemporánea. La obra es un knockout”
-Exeunt
“Villa mira fijamente el arma de la historia con una intimidad desgarradora y un sentido del humor que desarma”
