A company currently devoted to documentary theatre creates a stage poem on memory, justice and identity based on the experience of a young Argentinian woman, the daughter of two "disappeared" people brought up in a family with links to the armed forces.
You must still remember Nadia (Grec 2014), the story of a young Afghan girl, told by herself, in the form of a dramatic documentary. The work was produced by La Conquesta del Pol Sud, a company that returns with this fusion of theatre language and journalistic research. This new work is based on the story of Claudia Victoria Poblete Hlaczik, a systems engineer and sci-fi fan who lives in Buenos Aires. When she was twenty-two, she discovered that she was the child of two “disappeared” people and that she had lived a life invented by a couple not her real parents. Claudia’s case marked a turning-point in Argentina, as it marked the beginning of the end of the impunity that military officers had hitherto enjoyed. Now, her experience is brought to the stage in the form of a fragmentary account, conducted by Claudia herself, in interaction with documentary images and material from the research carried out by the company in northern Argentina. Based on experience narrated by their protagonist, La Conquesta del Pol Sud explore the relations between individual and collective in a language that fuses documentary, visual poetry and theatre. Unflinching and direct, Claudia forces us to consider such ideas as revolution, memory and education.
