After a successful preview during the Teatro a Mil 2025 International Festival, the first season of Estampida humana arrives at GAM. A play about the loss of a sense of community in Chile, which began during the dictatorship. Three stories that explore fear, violence, and hopelessness through a theatrical interplay marked by delirium, bewilderment, and humor.
A neighborhood association must decide what to do about a group of homeless people who have taken over the neighborhood square. A home improvement store is on the verge of bankruptcy and needs a miracle to save itself from dying. A clandestine leftist faction within the Carabineros (National Police) attempts its first attack to publicly demonstrate its support for the project of transforming the country. These three stories are the origin of Estampida humana (Human Stampede), a production by the Bonobo company that reflects on fear, violence, and hopelessness in Chile.
With the wit, absurdity, and discomfort characteristic of the productions by Andreina Olivari and Pablo Manzi (playwriting and direction), the play addresses how social ties, community life, and public spaces have been transformed into places of danger and violence. Following a successful preseason run with sold-out performances in January during the Teatro a Mil 2025 International Festival, Estampida humana makes its premiere at GAM, co-commissioned and supported by The Democracy Cycle, a program of the Perelman Performing Arts Center (PAC NYC) and the Civis Foundation.
