Acclaimed Chilean playwright Guillermo Calderon explores what it takes to trigger social change, and what revolution and violence mean to two different generations.

Acclaimed Chilean playwright Guillermo Calderon explores what it takes to trigger social change, and what revolution and violence mean to two different generations.

Society is fuelled by anger; dissatisfaction shapes Twitter feeds, online petitions and protest marches. But is that enough to bring about change?


Alejandra and Marcela are female anarchists, nervously planning to plant bombs in the middle of the night. They don’t want violence. They just want to be heard. Prison’s not much of a threat when most of your friends are inside.


Then they meet José Miguel. He is from a different generation, a time when revolution was ripe and activism alive, and he's committed to change by any means possible.

Guillermo Calderon heralded by The New Yorker as an authentic genius of the theatre
