ALL THE CITY’S A STAGE
Teatro A Mil 2005
(Jan. 7, 2005) For 11 years, the Teatro a Mil festival has gathered the best of the year’s Chilean theater and invited outstanding foreign companies for a month of thespianism to rival the world’s great theatrical festivals. Teatro a Mil is credited as the engine of the ongoing renaissance of Chilean theater.
Visual Arts
WINGS OF CHANGE
(Jan. 7, 2005) There are images that, without the presence of blood and wounded flesh, reach other dimensions of violence. In five different galleries in central Santiago, 10 Colombian female artists give their view of their country’s inner problems, a six-decade-long conflict, which has already claimed more than 150,000 lives.
“These works are not trying to shock in a sensational way, or reproduce images of destruction or death,” said the exhibition’s curator Carmen María Jaramillo, when she inaugurated the exhibition at Galería Gabriela Mistral on Wednesday with Cultural Minister José Weinstein Cayuela and the gallery’s director, Claudia Zaldívar Hurtado.
SQUEEZING IN TO ANIMAL
(Jan. 7, 2005) On Wednesday night, the Municipality of Vitacura and El Mercurio launched “Gallery Nights,” an elegant event that afforded art fans the opportunity to visit the numerous galleries that line the street of Alonso de Córdova in Vitacura. All the galleries stayed open late and the majority served cocktails and appetizers to eager visitors. Galería Artespacio, Galería Cecilla Palma, Galería Matthei, Galería A. M. S. Malborough, Galería Isabel Animat, Galería La Sala and Galería Animal all took part in the reveling.
The ST Dairy
HAIR TO THE THRONE
(Jan. 7, 2005) Earlier this week, former President Eduardo Frei decided to quit the presidential race, saying he was ready to set aside personal ambition for the sake of the unity of his party, the Christian Democrats, where the latest fad is announcing one’s candidacy for La Moneda.
