Paulina Urrutia
La protagonista
“When you see La amante fascista, you know that you’re witnessing a unique and unrepeatable artistic event”.
Marco Antonio de la Parra, La Nación, November 21, 2010.
“La Amante Fascista is one of the most inspiring premieres of the season”.
Juan Andrés Piña, La Tercera, November 12, 2010.
“Best Actress 2010: Paulina Urrutia for La Amante Fascista ... Urrutia once again demonstrates - and personifies - her talent … with a discourse that delves into political correctness and confirms how much we’ve missed her on the local stage”.
Eduardo Miranda and Pedro Labra, El Mercurio, December 24, 2010.
“La amante fascista is a play that destroys the myths surrounding our country’s recent history, from the perspective of a writer born in the Atacama Desert who writes at home in New York for a group of artists who live and work in Santiago de Chile. It is this variety of textures, this crossover between points of view, that encouraged me as a director to bring this cruel, ironic, sarcastic and painful script to the stage. It reflect on the fanaticism of a woman who, like many Chileans, supported and justified the atrocities committed during the military dictatorship. What could have been a critique of a specific time in our history is really just an excuse to talk about Chile and Chileans. Intolerance, classism and xenophobia are some of the idiosyncrasies that filter through in phrases that are both poetic and constructed interestingly in theatrical terms. There is also the flawless work of actress Paulina Urrutia, who I’ve had the privilege of working with before and whose performance adds a depth to the character that I could only imagine the first time I read La amante fascista almost a year ago”.

The wife of a captain in the Chilean army waits for him to return home and, as a result, we are taken back to some of the darkest nights the country has lived through.
Iris Rojas is the wife of a Chilean army captain who is out of the country. She waits for her husband to come home to Chile to carry out official visits to ceremonies and inaugurations in the northern city where he lives. In the middle of the night though, due to the anxiety caused by the preparations, she realizes that the Chilean army volunteer uniform she will wear for the official event she will accompany him to is completely soaked and will not be dry in time. This tiny domestic problem keeps her awake all night with an insomnia that will take us back to some the darkest nights the country has lived through.
