We encourage reflection and dialogue about human rights, tolerance and respect for others through theater and a decentralized cultural program.

The Theater, Human Rights and Memory Season is a free initiative that aims to help broaden citizens’ perspectives, encourage respectful dialogue and promote human rights through the collective experience that is theater. In addition, it aims to make quality cultural programming both easier to access and more decentralized in different Metropolitan Region neighborhoods.

Through a program that includes contemporary Chilean theater plays that tackle, from different perspectives, issues such as recent memory, democracy or the relationship with the ‘other’, the season is an opportunity to reflect on and delve deeper into promoting human rights, respect and tolerance for sexual, cultural, religious or age-related diversity.

The season is organized by the Teatro a Mil Foundation with the support of the Department of Presidential Subsidies, the Ministry of Culture, the Arts and Heritage (2017) and the Under Secretary for Human Rights, part of the Ministry of Justice (2018). The municipalities of the cities where the season was performed also collaborated.
