translated from Spanish: Work “2118. Futuristic tragedy”: the paradox of the grandfather

in his first work of science fiction set in a po sible Chile’s year 2118, Ana, the protagonist is a hardened militant anarcho feminist in the service of his popular Government, which is besieged again by the always powerful. She should raise flight down a wormhole, in order to fulfill missions in eight moments of national history and thus modify its present tragedy.

This dystopia artistically directed by Martín Erazo allows the collective exhibit a historical thesis, using many optical effects, cromy and a soundtrack of high quality live. Agile and modern, scenery is a consistent past transfers made by the selected service.
With aesthetic belonging to the comic and the cinema, Erazo along with playwright Carla Zúñiga, they get to work with a number of masks and fighting choreography melee fruit of the Christian Farías counseling.
This production of the collective centre Matucana 100 is an ambitious bet and auto demands, this consolidated company, towards new horizons of theatrical performance.  
The avenging visit to eight characters of Chilean history, responsible, according to the scientists of the future, an endemic chain of oppression, genocide, and conservatism from the colony to the present day.
The thesis is simple: If Ana manages to physically eliminate Pedro de Valdivia, an Inquisitor of the colony, to Diego Portales, a soldier of the 79 entering Lima violating women, to the genocide of Indians onas Julius Popper, Arturo Alessandri of the year 1938 the coup owner of El Mercurio Agustín Edwards and Lucía Hiriart de Pinochet, the overthrow of the first anarco-feminista President of the future Creole history can be avoided.
Perhaps one of the first writers who worked this idea of traveling to the already occurred was Mark Twain in his novel “The mysterious stranger”, where he reflects with the infinite of existential possibilities to occur, if it interferes with action or omission.
For current science reverse gear is not possible, because the “grandfather paradox” prevails. If a person travels and kill his grandfather, until this father to his father with the grandmother, then won’t exist neither the father nor the traveler. Not exist, the traveler there is no crossing, this grandfather is then not killed. There everything is complicated: if they do not kill the grandfather, the last passenger is Yes conceived. Again, being designed will travel to kill his grandfather, which again is not conceived and thus indefinitely until the injustice.
A variation of the previous nonsense is the same, but with Hitler: If traveling and is assassinated him, then will not have World War II. However, to be achieved, it would not possess the notion of the utility avoid that war in a present. Another tangle.
If Anna kill these 8 symbols of historic misfortune of the Chilean people, most likely arising described incoherence. According to Einstein + Hawking Yes you can, in theory, travel to the future. However, back the calendar years or centuries to amend tragedies, it would be a myriad of side effects.
And if Augusto Pinochet had followed his heart in love after that pianist in Ecuador, divorcing Lucia, could have avoided the blow of 73? Arturo Alessandri, in the period 1915-30, rebelled to the Republic Parliament, guilty of killing workers. Salvador Allende died inexplicably defending the Constitution of 1925, dictated by the Alessandri.
The story is more complex. If it wasn’t Pedro de Valdivia, others would have invaded this rugged land, inasmuch as for Hispanics in that time, Chile was a road heading to Antarctica, where he was the earthly paradise, explained by Dante in his Divine Comedy. And that idea today absurd, again them a few crazy in those days.
The world order of the work of the 19th century would have, anyway, exterminated the onas and not relied on only the yawning wickedness of a butcher as Julius Popper. Not have more decisive been the British Empire in the war of the Pacific, which the Presidents of one country so minor like ours in 1879?
In short, keep the ideas and not people.
In addition, already must live with another Singularity time-space in this country: If you travel 3 thousand endless kms from Santiago to Punta Arenas (end of the world), down reveal how, despite the outer distance, you will find the same giles talking about the same tonteras. Chile is a long corridor.
Ana fight to the end to achieve its mission and demonstrates how difficult this task. Perhaps the cause lies not only in the rarity of the grandfather, but also in the incongruity dictated by the Chilean physicist Nicanor Parra from the law of anti-poetry and which reads as follows: “independent of the model / the above sit on those at the bottom”.
