The Year I Was Born
, by Argentinean playwright
Lola Arias
, started with a concept:
artists
born under a
dictatorship reconstruct
their mothers and fathers
lives
as they once were
using
photographs, letters, cassette tapes, old clothing
, anecdotes, and elusive recollections.
Each of the characters
remakes scenes from the erased memories
of the past to use as portals to u
nderstanding an uncertain future
: Who were my parents when I was born? What was my country like before I learned to speak? How many
versions of past events exist
, particularly those that occurred when I was too young to form memories?
Arias performs onstage with actors who
share her history and her quest.
Like stunt doubles, the actors don their parents’ clothes and try to represent the lives of those who wore them. Performer by performer, scene by scene, the stories
collect and converge
until we arrive at
critical junctures
—the
overlapping zones of reality and fiction
, the encounter of one generation with another, and the intersection of national history and private stories. Both
playful and political
, the explorations of
The Year I Was Born
reveal complexity and dark secrets alongside the
joy and humor of lives recovered
.
