Summary

Esta obra teatral tan significativa que versa sobre la tortura, es la pieza latinoamericana más representada en la historia del mundo y ha llegado a constituirse en un clásico sobre la justicia y el perdón, la memoria y el olvido. El autor se ha propuesto a explorar preguntas pocas veces hechas en voz alta: "¿Como pueden los represores y los oprimidos cohabitar una misma tierra, compartir una misma mesa?" preguntas que hoy día siguen tan vigentes como cuando Dorfman escribía esta obra. La obra trata del encuentro de una mujer torturada en tiempos de la dictadura chilena con el personaje que ella cree que fue su torturador. Paulina, la torturada, propone a su marido procesar al doctor Miranda, su supuesto torturador. Miranda se declara inocente y, en realidad, estando la mujer vendada durante la tortura, puede sólo contar con el recuerdo de la voz y el olor de su torturador.

Author Biography

ARIEL DORFMAN is considered to be one of “the greatest Latin American novelists” (Newsweek) and one of the United States’ most important cultural and political voices. Dorfman's numerous works of fiction and nonfiction have been translated into more than thirty languages, including Death and the Maiden, which has been produced in over one hundred countries and made into a film by Roman Polanski. Dorfman has won many international awards, including the Sudamericana Award, the Laurence Olivier, and two from the Kennedy Center. He is distinguished professor at Duke University and lives in Durham, North Carolina.
