Abstract

Barrio Yungay comprises one of the most historic and activity-rich immigrant communities in Santiago, Chile. Yungay was named in honor of the victorious 1839 battle in the war against the Peruvian-Bolivian confederation. The area attracted international settlers from its foundation, but the 1940s migration of upper-class and military families to Santiago’s east side opened spaces and opportunities in Yungay for diverse groups of immigrants. Yungay’s immigrants are both protagonists and co-creators of the Teatro Niño Proletario’s 2016 play, Fulgor, staged at La Nave theater in the heart of the barrio. The play sets up and repeats visual images that draw spectators in, tug at their point of view, redirect their focus, and expose their blind spots with regard to immigrants’ personal and collective stories. With the aid of theories on visuality and affect in narrative, theater and performance, this chapter examines three recurring images in the play’s staging—the frame, plastic, and gold—to show how, through these, the performance reframes Chilean immigrant tales and activates an ‘ethical operative’ for its audiences.
