| Popis: |
This article discusses two powerful initiatives in Chile that have emerged separately to commemorate the Pinochet dictatorship: the choir of former political prisoners Voces de la Rebeldía (Voices of Rebellion), re-created after four decades of inactivity since it was first founded in the torture and extermination centre Villa Grimaldi, and the street performance troupe Los Diablos Rojos de Víctor Jara (The Red Devils of Víctor Jara), formed by young musicians and dancers to honour the assassinated musician and theatre director. While the choir has focused on keeping alive an activity that was crucial to their spiritual survival as political prisoners and on transmitting to contemporary audiences the memories of the brutal background against which the original group was born, Los Diablos Rojos have taken a direction of aesthetic transformation, renewing Víctor Jara’s music and political legacy, not only keeping alive the memory of victims of the Pinochet era but also challenging attempts to criminalise social protests. |
