—Because it tells the story of territorial occupation from an ancestral point of view, through the construction of meeting points for the communities. The play allows us to learn more about the vertical view that unites the earth with the world of the stars. This view is based on a collective perspective, community work and loving relationship with the environment, where nature is seen as a living being that is cared for and respected.
—Because the staging considers the active participation of the social and cultural groups which inhabit the areas where the company will perform. To this regard, the creators will carry out construction sessions for the scenic space of the performance, in which the communities play an active role. In addition, other interactive activities will be carried out, such as community lunches and support for the dissemination of the shows.

Secreto a voces
By Compañía Teatro del Viento
- Chile
- Spanish
- 50 minutes
- Todo público
A group of inhabitants of the Kokimpu district -the original name of Coquimbo- discover an ancestral territory turned into a landfill, where they perform a purifying ritual that restores life to the land.
A group of primitive inhabitants of the territories in the Coquimbo region build a bonfire and a “pirca” (pile of stones), as a landmark for ancestral communication. They discover that they must destroy the established order to achieve their own purification and reassemble the forgotten codes in order to validate themselves as a people.
Thus, the collective spaces are restored, dignifying the knowledge of the first inhabitants of these territories.
This story is the core of Secreto a voces, a play that addresses issues such as ancestry, the recovery of public spaces and social gatherings and the rescue of ancient crafts, as well as the water shortage affecting the area. It seeks to showcase the dryness of a landscape on the verge of extinction, starting with its colors and desiccated bodies.
The dramaturgy is guided by the original cosmovision of the pre-Columbian people and considers the four elements -water, earth, air and fire- as the pillars of communication and reconstruction of identity.
