This is not GATHERING, not a masterclass In this GATHERING, we will reflect on the theatrical poetics that we have constructed as a company over the years and the surrounding sociopolitical context. We will discuss the sociocultural transformations that have taken place in Chile during the post-dictatorship period and how they have shaped our theatrical work. By analysing some of the works of La Re-sentida and their creative processes, including Simulacro (2008), Tratando de hacer una obra que cambie el mundo (2010), La Imaginación del Futuro (2013), La Dictadura de lo Cool (2016), Paisajes para no colorear (2018) and El Oasis de la Impunidad (2022) (which will feature in the 22-23 season at Dramático), we will delve into the pulses, imagery and obsessions that inspire our artistic approach and the various underlying procedures, practices and strategies.
