Saturday 4: “The City of Caesars”
Author: Jorge Baradit and Marco Antonio de la Parra Address: Sebastián Jaña Con: Roberto Poblete and Alex Zisis
A meteorite has fallen on the plate of Nazca and Chile has begun to disappear, democracy has become volatile and the civil war between the Republic of the Blind and the Neuroguerrilla of the Stateless Front, forces two characters to flee looking for the City of Caesars.
One of them needs to meet his family there; while the other, a transhuman medium – half-man to half-robot – is used as a hound telepath to pick up signals from the longed-for city.
In this dystopia about a Chile that is in the process of dissolving spatially and temporarily, the particular world of the writer Jorge Baradit and his original worldview, are visited in four hands with the collaboration of the playwright Marco Antonio de la Parra, to elaborate this post-apocalyptic drama that invites a reflection on our history and both its dreaded catastrophe.
Wednesday 8: “Fuck, but I’m Your Father” (Opening)
Author: Roberto Nicolini Address: Luz Elvira Rivanera Con: Roberto Nicolini
Continuing the successes of “Viva la diferencia” and “Fuck but I am your mother”, this new montage is a one-man of conscious humor written in collaboration with the ancestor Pedro Engel. Roberto Nicolini revisits relationships, situations and family problems by reviewing recognizable anecdotes to all from the perspective of a father who amuses and excites in the review of his life by reaching a stage of life where he ceases to be an authority and refuses to be a Load.
Thursday 9: “2 Clones on the Edge of Schizophrenia”
Dramaturgy and Direction: Rodrigo Muñoz Elenco: Andrés Pozo and Rodrigo Muñoz
It is a comedy that tries two actors who, when they are left, decide to enter a theater and assault the audience, are tired of the contested backgrounds with smurths and the castings where the galans always remain regardless of their talent, that is where they decide then to take life in a more practical and risky way. It is a work where actors go from being assailants to clowns, poets, entrepreneurs, etc.
All this happens on stage and in the public view, they transform and adopt each other personality which allows them to say their speech and apology with a lot of humor try to justify how they have come to this difficult moment, with a close language , fun and playful invite the viewer to travel through different emotional states without neglecting the irony and humor as a sustenance of the montage.
Friday the 10th: “A Wild God”
Author: Yasmina Reza Director: Christian Villarreal Castie: Claudio Valenzuela, Veronica González, Alvaro Pacull and Magdalena Marzolo
A child assaults another with a stick, the parents of both meet the next day to clarify the situation and find the best possible solution. Good intentions are left behind when each of the four fathers and mothers begins to take advantage of the situation, at first with some subtlety and gradually more brazenly, leaving the children to be in the background. In the end, what they dispute is who is in possession of the truth, of reason, and therefore, who occupies the highest moral rung, when in reality all of them go down a ladder of self-degradation that seems to have no end.
Saturday 11: “The City Without You”
Author: Pedro Lemebel Dramaturgy and Direction: Claudia Pérez and Rodrigo Muñoz Elenco: Claudia Vergara, José Luis Aguilera, Rodrigo Muñoz and Claudia Pérez

We have worked from the love, admiration, memory and nostalgia of a friend who left, but who leaves us his wonderful and infinite work. The city is not the same without you (Rodrigo Muñoz).
At his house and then at the hospital. Pedro Lemebel participated in the beginnings of this work that ended up premiering as a tribute after his death.
