Abstract
Escrita a modo de sátira y haciendo uso de un lenguaje literario-musical de vanguardia, la ópera chilena Renca, París y Liendres (2012) resaltó grandes fisuras en la sociedad latinoamericana relacionadas con la desigualdad, la discriminación y la violencia. Dichos problemas, sumados a los resabios de la dictadura de Augusto Pinochet (1973-1990), produjeron en Chile una crisis social evidenciada en una década de protestas, iniciada con las marchas estudiantiles de 2011 y que alcanzó su cénit con el estallido social de 2019. A diez años de su estreno, en este trabajo se revisan los antecedentes que rodearon la creación de la ópera, los conflictos que produjo en la comunidad a la que aludió y los simbolismos con los que interpretó su realidad. Finalmente, se estudian los vínculos entre el carácter subversivo de la obra y los movimientos sociales chilenos del periodo.
Written as a satire and using avant-garde literary-musical language, Chilean opera Renca, París y Liendres (2012) exposed large fissures in Latin American society related to inequality, discrimination, and violence. These problems, added to the remnants of Augusto Pinochet military dictatorship (1973-1990), produced an unprecedented social crisis in Chile that became evident in a decade of protests, which began with the education conflict of 2011 and reached its zenith with the social outburst of 2019. Ten years after its premiere, this essay reviews the background surrounding the creation of the opera, the conflicts it produced in the community it alluded to, and the symbolisms with which it interpreted its reality. Finally, the connections between the subversive nature of the work and the Chilean social movements of the period are studied.
