Secretos y borraduras
This work deals with two dystopian information systems about the recent history of Chile, through two documents declassified by the USA about the recent history of the country. One of them, which serves as a black and openwork base, is a declassified document entirely censored by means of redactions, from which one can barely read the word SECRET and other phrases and words, which leave it out of any possibility of access to the historical information it carries.
Superimposed on this, on a metallic and also laser cut material, a handwritten memorandum dated June 3, 1976, in English and which reads:
Dear Mr. Stevenson:
Could you please tell me who in the Pentagon is responsible for the teaching of torture techniques to the Chileans.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Eloise Lushbough
Mrs. Eloise T. Lushbough phone: 312- 714-5420 020 Elm Street M.L. Illinois- 60025
PS: Thank you for opposing the B1 bomber.
By overlaying these two documents, one that completely hides its subject matter and the other that gives us the dystopian dimension of the information, the play seeks to approximate the tone of the violence and implications of this story.
