Guillermo Calderón, a political dramatist

  Guillermo Calderón is a Chilean dramatist dedicated to political drama. The most distinguished writing of his are Escuela, Villa, Discurso, Clase and Mateluna. He studied teatro in Universidad de Chile and then he completed a Master in New York.
  Escuela and Mateluna are two works related to the guerrilla groups during the dictatorial regime in Chile. The first of them narrates how operated some of the guerrilla groups to fight the oppression, his strategies and the risk of participate in this groups. With the goal of collect documents to complete the first step of the dramaturgic investigation, Guillermo Calderón and his company interviewed ex frontier called Jorge Mateluna. He delivered information about the techniques and the political scene of the military dictatorship from a struggling perspective.
  After of the premiere of “Escuela”, Jorge Mateluna was unfairly arrested, perhaps to sentence his past like a member of FPMR (He was accused of being guilty of bank assault).  Guillermo Calderón couldn’t stay in calm with that injustice and in his way he materialized his anger in a play: Mateluna. In Mateluna, Calderón reveals the arbitrary of the Chilean legal system and proves the innocence of Jorge Mateluna

Sunny food

  Hello, today I’m going to talk about my favorite food of all the times. In first place, I have to say that I’m not so good at making decisions. So, I’m going to pick three of the mouth-watering foods that exist to me: porotos granados, humitas y pastel de choclo. In my grandma’ house there is a vegetable garden where she grows beans, corn, basil, pumpkins, etc.   All these products are the basic substrates to make the marvelous home-cooked food. In this sense, I have to recognize that I eat my fist favorite food (porotos Granados) every weekend in summer. Also, in that season I enjoy the humitas frequently in despite of the difficulty of cooking this (and many flies fly around them).    When I changed my diet to the vegetarian one, I was afraid because that decision would generate that, for example, I couldn’t eat my third favorite food. But my grandma showed up like a super heroin and made a Pastel de choclo with a base of soy.   Unbelievably, the...

Headphones in my life

My favorite piece of technology are the headphones, because is the means to listening to my music and to live the experience to stay closer to my dear bands. I used every day my headphones, and when that didn’t happen, probably it will not be a good day.    Now, I am going to talk about one of those bad days:  when I forgot my headphones in some classroom. When I realized of it, I felt terrible because I didn´t know what had happened with them. Later, I thought about the places where I could find my valued headphones… but nothing! Fortunately, I remembered that I was in the Aularios during the morning and like a datum: I always keep my belongings under the tables. With that feeling, I went to talk with the Aularios’ assistants and they allowed me to come into the classroom. Despite my pessimism, I amazingly found my headphones safe and sound. Since of that trouble, I look after my headphones like a saint bone.

Personal opinions

What is your opinion about legalizing abortion in some cases? I am absolutely convinced that the body belongs to each one of us. For that reason I´m totally agree with the three cases of abortion categorized in the recent and necessary law. Besides, I hope that the regulation of abortion gets an upgrade and finally becomes in free abortion, ensuring the clarity of the information, the bio psychosocial well-being (therapeutic company, equal access, etc.). All is only because the woman deserves to make a decision, the decision that she thinks is better. What is your opinion about recycling? I am reasonably sure that the recycling was the past (but we take conscious later), is the present (we are doing something, a little but something) and is the future (we had a long time to understand that the world, our environment needs care, accumulative care). The recycling is an essential process that makes the garbage suitable for reuse. All our waste, all our inorganic trash has the p...
