They have developed various artistic proposals activating, producing, creating, and disseminating discussions on political imagination, sexual dissidence, and transfeminism.

Yeguas sueltas

With activist actresses on stage, the most recent work of Teatro SUR commemorates the 50th anniversary of the first registered homosexual demonstration in Chile.
Yeguas sueltas commemorates the 50th anniversary of the first homosexual protest held in Chile in April 1973, during the Popular Unity government, prior to the coup d'état and the beginning of the civil-military dictatorship. The project investigates and draws on interviews with survivors, press archives, visual, musical, and audiovisual imagery of the seventies, portraying the vicissitudes and conflicts of a group of impoverished female queers and transvestites who took over the Plaza de Armas in Santiago to unveil the police violence and discrimination they suffered on a daily basis. A cultural recognition of the protagonists of that iconic protest, inquiring into its causes and consequences, recognizing its historical and political character in the trajectory of the Homosexual Movement in Chile, and wondering about the unfinished sexual memories, the lives of the trans-transvestite communities, and the accumulated scars of discrimination.
