Dragón, Guillermo Calderón's latest work, is a story about a group of artists who meet to begin createing the work that should anoint them as undeniable forces of nature in the avant-garde theater community. The plot provides a window, a reflection, on opportunism and violence and is written by this chilean playwright and director with a long and renowned international career. In The Second Life of a Dragon, Guillermo Calderón has developed a new audiovisual vision that adopts the format of a micro-documentary, expressly made in the context of the new circumstances of confinement. The action is set against the compelling topics on which Dragon, introduces as well as the artistic and cultural references that are at the core of the show - while juxtaposing them within the context of chile's current political situation that has been compounded by the consequences of the pandemic.
