Autopsia is a theatrical creation that the artist is creating from Barcelona in collaboration with Teatro Puerto (Chile), currently in the research phase and set to be presented as a lecture at Próximamente. The piece explores the death of the author's great-grandfather during Chile's dictatorship, under suspicions of a concealed murder. It delves into the hospital irregularities of that time and how the lack of information continues to affect families. With an intimate and collective approach, it reflects on ancestry, the impact of silence, and the importance of bringing to light stories excluded from official memory.
