Museum of Memory and Human Rights premieres theater cycle with special focus on women’s stories

With an emphasis on the stories and experiences of women, the Museum of Memory and Human Rights began its free theater cycle, 6 Stories of Dictatorship. Through the assembly of various works, topics from exile during the military coup to the state of siege during the social outbreak will be addressed.
The cycle invites reflection on characters such as Cecilia Magni, known as Commander Tamara, makes sexual political violence visible and integrates formats such as cabaret theater to question the roles assigned to women today.
“This program shows the fundamental presence that women have had in the construction of the memory of our country,” said the head of Extension and Production of the museum, Alejandra Ibarra.
Among some of the productions that will be presented, is “Ella, Nosotras y Yo”, a testimonial work that speaks of exile and forced migration from a female perspective, integrating elements of the biography and family history of its director, Natalia Cuéllar.

On the other hand, there is also “The Queens of the Street”, a project that through music and sarcastic humor discusses the roles assigned to women in the current social and cultural context.

In addition, before each performance will be presented “The people will not have another way”, interactive montage composed of video games, audios and video art, made by the theater company La Junta, which evokes the attack on Pinochet carried out by the Manuel Rodríguez Patriotic Front.

The performances will take place on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from July 7 to August 13 at 8:00 p.m. in the Auditorium of the Museum. Every Saturday, at the end of the performance, a space for conversation will be opened between the public and the company in charge of the work.
