Street Theatre, My Captain

At the beginning of the summer of 1986, a group of actors and actresses directed by Andrés Pérez, put on the street the play “All these years” presented in front of the Cathedral of Santiago, the Bellavista neighborhood, the La Bandera district, the Parque O'Higgins, Plaza del Mulato and many other places in Santiago. Armed with megaphones, costumes, musical instruments, giant dolls, stilts and banners, they set up shop in different parts of the city where they raised scaffolding on which they climbed to summon the public to witness their show of singing, music, dancing and pantomime in the who told stories that quietly delved into the events of the last years of the military dictatorship at the end of the 1980s. 25 years passed, Andrés Pérez had died and the street actors became references in theater and television, when Flores returned to the eighties images to create this tribute documentary.
