REALISM

October 20176
MATUCANA 100 CULTURAL CENTER
Santiago, Chile

Drawing on the ideas of the philosophical movement "Speculative Realism," Teatro de Chile seeks to challenge the modern notion of the human being as the measure of all things, insisting on the independence of things from our conceptualizations of them.

What does it mean to be true realists in the theater—that is, to understand the stage as a stage where human beings and inanimate objects are all on the same level? Would it be possible to imagine a non-anthropocentric, or even post-anthropocentric, theater? Could this amount to a strange form of neorealism?

This is a proposal that seeks to push the boundaries of the theatrical while proposing an existentialist and tremendously contingent reflection. Would we, as a species, be willing to surrender the central place we believe we have until now and usher in a post-anthropocentric era? In "Realism," four generations of the same family foreshadow, attempt to prevent, and ultimately necessarily accept, an inevitable transformation in the order of things.
