A Choreographic Reflection on State Violence in Chile
Eight bodies move in mysterious convulsions. They walk, exercise, and
celebrate. But what do their movements represent: suffering or joy? Pride or fear?
Together, they form a security force, a mechanical and turbulent
organization made up of highly disciplined bodies trained to inflict
violence upon themselves and others. Maintain order! Such is the
imperative. In a kind of abstract museum space, security forces, their
victims, and fantastical horror characters come together in a ritual of
confession, atonement, and lamentation.
Inspired by the social explosion that took to the streets of Santiago, Chile, on October 18, 2019, La Re-sentida presents a work on how violence and indignation inhabit and invade the body. Oasis de la Impunidad invites us to question all democracies that are currently reassessing their history.
