The work “Asylum against oppression” returns to the scene after its acclaimed premiere in February. This theatrical satire, loaded with black humor, imagines an unusual camaraderie between Salvador Allende, played by Jaime Omeñaca, Augusto Pinochet, personified by Claudio Arredondo, and Lucía Hiriart, played by Natalia Valdebenito. The plot takes place in a nursing home located near Miami, set in the year 2020, where these historical figures interact in a relaxed and fictional context.
In interview with The Confusionfollowing the revival of this work, the journalist Alejandra Matus reflected on the contingency marked by the murder of the three police officers in the province of Arauco and the decisions of the Power of attorney to delay the formalization of the General Ricardo Yanez.
“We have seen crimes of this type throughout Chile, in relation to organized crime, but we have not seen it in relation to the activities of political or protest organizations. Yes, we have seen it in relation to organized crime with respect to civilians, but not police officers, and That, no matter how serious and macabre it may be, is what the people who are in that task, the police and the Public Ministry, have to clarify.«he assured.
Furthermore, “decisions or behavior cannot be made assuming that it is of one nature or another if there is not enough information. Unfortunately here the rhythm is set by the mornings, the rhythms of the investigation are set by the morningit is not set by the pace of the investigation per se, so an investigation that takes 48 hours for the morning is a lot because the morning wants to draw conclusions immediately, which is what the format demands,” he added.
This because “our democracy is so fragile that it dances to the rhythm of the morning. “The fact that a decision that was made, which was the resignation of the director of Carabineros, has not been carried out because of this fact seems to me to be absurd for democracy because it has consequences that go beyond this particular fact.” .
