Stories with social content
This group was formed in 2007 in the city of Concepción, Chile and focuses on creations using concepts such as identity and stories with a social content, mainly championing the work of local writers. To date, they have premiered more than 30 shows in different formats and have worked as consultants for several different creative, touring and training projects, collaborating with different cultural entities. The group has become an important cultural and artistic reference point in their area.
-It is an invitation to reflect on the importance of art and, in this case, theater in people’s lives, based on an event that paralyzed the whole world - the pandemic – and that made us reassess how important culture is to society’s evolution. The members of La Otra Zapatilla ask questions about why they make theater and why they keep doing so in spite of the circumstances. They invite the audience to ask themselves the same thing regarding their relationship with art.
-It specifically highlights the importance of the work of the women who have made Chilean theater history: those who came before us and paved the way in a world that, similar to other areas, was mainly developed by men.

- 10 minutes
- + 12 years
An audiovisual piece that honors the women who have paved the way for theater in Chile.
This piece aims to honor those who came before us, highlighting a story that existed before memory ate away at some of its parts. We want to ask burning questions. What do we lose when theater distances itself? What do we hang on to and why do we keep doing it? What do we lose when there is no longer theater? What are we left with? What do we remember? This is an invitation to remember those who came before us in the performing arts. We are where we are today thanks to their work and history,
Se está quemando todo is one of seven creations that make up the project ¿Dónde está el teatro en este presente distópico?, a research project carried out by La Otra Zapatilla, a group from Concepción who, for six months, explored different styles, esthetics and concerns in order to create something artistic during the challenging times of a pandemic and instability in the artistic world.
