Hi Guys!
Well, I feel really interested about study the artist expressions of our society. In sociology, this isn’t a common subject, because a lot of people thinks that this isn’t relevant to discover the under view social principles. But I think that the theater could by an interesting study object, also I really enjoy it.
Few months ago I went to watch “uñas sucias”. Today I’m going to describe one of the most important thing about it:
Luis Barrales is a Chilean playwright. He raise the subjects about marginals group in society, in particular in this country, with play like “Uñas Sucias”, “Hans Pozo”, Niñas Arañas”, “Rota”, “La Mala Clase”, and others. His works are very important for Chilean theater according to the critics.
Last year, the panel of judges of Santiago a mil, selected “uñas sucias” as the best of the 2009’s selection. This staging was directed by Raul Donoso, member of the “La Popular” theater company.
“Uñas Sucias” is originally setting in a male amateur soccer team, but the company adapted it for a female cast.
The play shows a sub 20 player group, who aspire to be promoted to a professional category, and they fight to figurate in the list, that contains five selected players by the coach.
The tension and excitation atmosphere beginning with the end of the training, when they stay locked in the dressing room and have to stay together more of the time that they wish.
Also the text explore in the female way to practice this sport, the play shows –with a Harshness view- the power relations that are established inside the team through the violent word exercise .
The text was written in 2003, and opened in the national dramaturgy exhibition of this year. It was finalist.
The “La popular” company’s proposal is relative to emphasize about the marginal environment and represent the ferocity of the group’s world visions.

Hi Catalina!
ReplyDeleteWell, I think that theater,and art in general, have the duty to teach and show to society its virtues and defects. Also, it critic the way how we resolved ours conflicts irrationally.
I would like to see this work, mainly because it is about women.
See you!
Hi!
ReplyDeleteI have not heard about that work. It looks very interesting.
I like your interest in art, in particular, to consider it is a means by which to understand social reality. I think it is grat innovation in the subject or object of study, so we can understand things from different perspectives.
Greetings!
