An anarchist-feminist fighter, Ana, travels through time to try and change her present by getting rid of nine influential, conservative and powerful characters who have shaped Chile’s history, including Pedro de Valdivia, Julius Popper, Diego Portales and Augusto Pinochet. Using both actors and puppets, video projections and an energetic live band on stage, Chilean group La Patogallina - together with playwright Carla Zúñiga - create a multimedia show of science fiction and political terror, inspired by retrofuturistic films and comics. An epic and outrageous universe reflects the cyclical nature of history and reveals the powers that have controlled the country’s destiny from the shadows.
Defined by La Patogallina as the most political of its shows, 2118, Tragedia futurista - coproduced by the Teatro a Mil Foundation and Matucana 100 and with financing from a National Cultural and Artistic Development Grant (Fondart) - is an attempt to imagine what would happen if the course of Chile’s history was changed.
