Yo maté a Pinochet (I Killed Pinochet) is part of the trilogy Justicia, Utopía y Militancia (Justice, Utopia, and Militancy). Yo maté a Pinochet is a monologue that reimagines the possibility of the dictator’s assassination, destabilizing official histories and questioning the ethics of political violence. This play features a character who claims he, in fact, was the one to kill Augusto Pinochet, and that the officially recorded history of his natural death in 2006 is a fabrication by the Chilean state. The play uses this provocative premise to explore complex themes surrounding memory, truth, justice, and the lingering social and political divisions in Chilean society decades after the dictatorship ended. Flores Rebolledo’s acting oscillates between humor and emotion, addressing the frustrations of an "invisible struggle" for justice. Open to All.
