Three people stand at microphones singing with their hands up in front of musical instruments

A late-night foray through a city marked by intolerance and violence. Three people set out to capture the hidden evil in a bottle. “Espíritu” (“Spirit”) reflects the unease that haunts contemporary society, calling for political action from a poetic perspective. “Theatre is our trench in which we speak to the public and to ourselves. It is our vital need today to say: less consumption, more life, less obsessive work to fulfil obsessive goals,” says Trinidad González. The celebrated actress, playwright and director also wrote the text for “Espíritu”, directed it, and plays a part in it herself. Since 2018, her company Teatro Anónimo from Chile has been creating plays that make a political statement against the prevailing consumerism and take the audience on a journey with humour, live music, and surprising changes in tempo.
