Ho paura torero
© Masiar Pasquali
A moving and visionary masterpiece by Pedro Lemebel, Ho paura torero, is on stage in the theatrical version directed by Claudio Longhi. Lino Guanciale is the Queen of the Corner, a sensitive and passionate transvestite, in a play that walks the line between dream and history, between eros and politics.
1986, in a Santiago crushed under the weight of patrols, the Queen of the Corner (a passionate transvestite), the student Carlos (a militant from the Manuel Rodríguez patriotic front), General Augusto José Ramón Pinochet Ugarte and his faithful partner Lucia, lost in the disjointed chorus of the lazy and feverish city, dance, sinuous or stiff, their fatal and grotesque bolero with fate.
Claudio Longhi and Lino Guanciale have created a play that walks the line between dream and history, flights of fantasy and violent routine, and that also pays tribute to the ironic and impassioned, scathing and visionary, scandalous and subversive hand of Pedro Lemebel (1952-2015), an icon of queer and pop-camp literature of the Southern hemisphere. An account of the unavoidable parable of desire shot with eros and politics.
Duration: 185’ intermission included
