Dive headlong into politically outspoken Latin American theater with the US debut of one of Chile’s leading experimental companies. Set in an 18th-century frontier hacienda, Inútiles follows an effete, aristocratic family in suffocatingly lavish clothes—headed by a matriarch played in drag by an esteemed Chilean actor. As the family flails in the face of a servant rebellion, Inútiles offers a rich, satiric takedown of Colonial racism, debauchery and self-delusion—then and now.
In Spanish, with English supertitles.
