3rd Assignment: Work of Art


After a successful season on January of this year, the theatre company "Compañia de Teatro de Chile", came back to Matucana 100 with the mounting "Cristo". This work is directed by Manuela Infante and consists in the fifth production of the company. It is also financed by FONDART.

I didn't new anything about this work of art until April this year, when my girlfriend invited me to see it. She needed to see this mounting for a subject in the University.

The theatre work is not about religion or history, as somebody could think. It is about three actors and two technists with the problem of representing Christ. It is also about the problematic of representing a representation. What happens with the content of what we understand as "real" if we dedicate us to represent something that is already a representation?

I loved this work of theatre. I think that is a new kind of the gender, which makes you think a lot. At the time of exiting the theatre all the people were commenting really good things about the mounting.

It is a "must see" work.
