This work is a translation and reenactment of the last speech given by former President of Chile, Salvador Allende. The original speech was broadcast on Chilean radio during the Military Coup that took place on the 11th of September 1973. This Military Coup was made possible through the help of the C.I.A. and U.S. political support. For the Chilean people, the 11th of September marked the date in which democracy turned into a military dictatorship that lasted until 1990.
The project "Reenactment of a Farewell" translates Salvador Allende's final speech in order to make it accessible to an English speaking audience, with the aim of giving a space to the words that were silenced for years.
This piece will be broadcast in several US radios on Septembe 11th.
