Based on the contradictions and complexities of democracy in today’s world, Felipe Hirsch sets his sights on exploring its specific personal, social, and political effects in post-dictatorship Chilean society. Inspired by Facsímil by the renowned Chilean writer Alejandro Zambra, he uses the logic and structure of the former Academic Aptitude Test (PAA) to delve deeper into the different elements that have left their mark on the transition to and consolidation of democracy over the last 30 years: the traces left by the dictatorship, education, the economy, inequality, ethics, and even family. Ironic, scathing, and critical, the play turns into a tragic game and a reflection of the complex journey of a generation that has had to bear the dreams, fears, and frustrations of Chile today. Democracia is a multidisciplinary, highly visual performance that mixes autobiography with literature and theater.
