The Birthday Party, by Nobel Prize-winning playwright Harold Pinter and directed by \u00c1lvaro Viguera, is our next theatrical co-production with Teatro Municipal de Las Condes.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Premiere: January 2027<\/b><\/p>\n

Stan is an unsuccessful pianist and the sole lodger in a boarding house. Its elderly owners care for him devotedly, especially Meme, whose affection for Stanley is at once maternal and subtly erotic.<\/span><\/p>\n

One day, two mysterious strangers arrive and rent the only available room. They seem to be looking for someone. Stan, perhaps?<\/span><\/p>\n

When they learn that Meme is determined to celebrate a birthday, they eagerly join in. The fact that it is not actually Stan’s birthday does nothing to stop the celebration.<\/span><\/p>\n

As the party unfolds, Stan’s past begins to surface: the shadow of an uncertain crime, questions of guilt – or innocence – and the haunting experience of exile.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Birthday Party<\/em> is a comedy. It is the kind where you laugh, feel uncomfortable, laugh again, and might leave the theater not quite sure what just happened to you. Harold Pinter called this a “comedy of menace”, that strange realm where the absurd and the sinister share a table, smile politely at one another, and destroy a man without ever raising their voices.<\/p>\n

Written in 1958, the play remains unsettlingly relevant today. For we all know Goldberg and Cano: that power which offers no explanations, arrives impeccably dressed, and speaks your name with excessive familiarity.<\/p>\n

And we all know Pedro\u2014the one who sees, the one who stays silent, the one who remains seated.<\/p>\n

In Chile, we know a thing or two about all of that.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":296,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"categoria":[10,8,3],"class_list":["post-295","produccion","type-produccion","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","categoria-en-venta","categoria-proximos","categoria-teatro"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lasantaproducciones.cl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/produccion\/295","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lasantaproducciones.cl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/produccion"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lasantaproducciones.cl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/produccion"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lasantaproducciones.cl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/296"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lasantaproducciones.cl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=295"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"categoria","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lasantaproducciones.cl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categoria?post=295"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
