Lola Arias: El Año en Que Nací (The Year I Was Born)
“The experience is soul-crushing, it shakes
you to the core.” —La Segunda
“A truly great piece of documentary-theater.”
—The Santiago Times
Amid bursts of exuberant rock music and deceptively playful scenarios, 11 Chileans born during Pinochet's dictatorship—all non-actors—reconstruct their family histories using photographs, letters, old clothing and personal stories. Argentine director Lola Arias' El Año en Que Nací reveals a nation's complex history through the eyes of a generation, in a riveting work of documentary theater that dives purposefully into lives lived within a brutal military regime. While deftly navigating the humorous and the horrifying, the political and personal, Arias invites each performer to attempt to make sense of the past as they reconstruct the lives of their parents—resistors and collaborators alike—through memories suppressed, erased or simply unspoken.
Performed in Spanish with English surtitles.
