Of Love and Resistance is a compelling play inspired by true events, delving into the harrowing impact of the Chilean Coup of 1973 on one family torn apart by imprisonment and political strife. Through the ordeal of Tomás and his pregnant wife Sonia, the play unveils the harsh realities of state-sponsored brutality and the role of the United States in supporting the rise of General Augusto Pinochet’s dictatorship. The play allows us to reflect on the universal struggle for justice and human rights.
Currently in workshop, Of Love and Resistance commemorates the 50th anniversary of the Chilean Coup D’état, opening a space for dialog, memory and creativity. Presented in English.
