Written in 1928, this story of power and destruction involving a female landowner and her younger stepson is revisited in 2022 by Teatro La Mala Clase, incorporating elements from Chilean culture today and mixing different theatrical and audiovisual styles.
Obedience in exchange for power and land is what The Widow offers Ñico, son of her deceased husband, a blunt and reserved man who, over time, came to realize what it meant to be the ‘master’ and fell in love with a young city girl who was visiting. Ñico awakens a passion in The Widow that goes beyond a stepson’s love for his stepmother. She gradually gives him more and more control over her land in a desperate attempt to stop him leaving, sparking a tragedy.
Concepts such as the patriarchy, the figure of women, capitalism and love are revisited in a traditional script that deals with topics that transcend both eras and paradigms.
