Diciembre

Teatro en el Blanco (CHI)
PERFORMANCE

A politically charged and haunting drama about a near-future war in Chile.

Peppered with large doses of pitch-black comedy, Diciembre takes place on Christmas Eve 2014 in Santiago, a city beseiged by Peruvian forces.

Young soldier, Jorge returns home to celebrate the holiday with his pregnant twin sisters. When they discover his plans to defect, both react sharply revealing their fiercely entrenched opposing views of the war.

Fast, funny and intense, Diciembre strips away the conceits of war and gives us a bracing look at racism, nationalism and pacifism.

Coming direct from the Edinburgh International Festival and Dublin Theatre Festival, Chile’s Teatro en el Blanco, is certain to captivate with its emotive, visceral and razor-sharp theatre.
