An artistic flash that announced the protagonists of the Unidad Popular.1968-1969.

Abstract

This article describes the fleeting development of the Cabildo theater, an independent company that between 1968 and 1969, produced three works that elevated popular subjects to be the protagonists of the theater scene. This historical reconstruction was made from an exercise between history and the memory of its members. Furthermore, the social and political context in which the Cabildo emerged was two years prior to the triumph of Popular Unity. Our hypothesis is that said company announced from an artistic point of view, an accurate characterization of the social base that supported the Popular Government.
