ABSTRACT

THE CHILEAN ARTISTS THAT RI CHARD describes left institutional contexts to redefine `the conditions of their creative participation in the behavior and discourses of everyday life.´ They wanted to raise the consciousness of would-be spectators and thus emphasized `… the incompleteness of the work … to solicit the viewer's intervention to complement its meaning.´ Note the resonance with Boal who wrote that the bourgeoisie can present finished images of their world because it exists; those dissatisfied with this world will make a theatre that is unfinished, a rehearsal for reality (1979).
