Ramon Griffero: Your Desires in Fragments and Other Plays

2016 | Film & TV

This volume contains a translated collection of plays by the important, but little-known to the English-speaking world, Chilean playwright and director Ramon Griffero's Diez obras de Fin de Siglo (Ten Plays from Teatro Fin de Siglo). Having been forced to leave Chile at the time of the military coup in 1973, because of his radical political activities, Ramon Griffero returned in the early 1980s. As an openly gay former revolutionary, he founded the theatre company Teatro del Fin de Siglo, and 'El Trolley', a cultural space for resistance to the Pinochet dictatorship. These plays have been produced widely in Latin America and Europe and published in many languages, including French, German and Italian, but, as of yet, not in English. He has also published a number of essays on art and politics in his native Chile.
