| most impressive thing about this show is the theatrical game in which players create different situations, assisted by boards with wheels, chairs, chalk, erasers, plus some props. With these simple elements, plus the deployment of voice and interpretation, Public Theatre reviews facts or creates situations to convey their point of view. Among the highlights last game of Metropolis, through the time when an everyday situation explains the issue of property, its use by capitalism and the birth of the camps.
The action is structured through a collage of moments that happen quickly, accompanied by live music that creates atmosphere and gives a counterpoint of popular expression and emotion. The scenes are approached in a Brechtian, ie a didactic spirit, to teach the public, to show a reality. In fact, at various points the actors appeal to the viewer directly. Another substantive proceedings are well proportioned as to intent and histrionics, with a high standard for all, indicating that the direction of Patricia Artés points to the substantive. The same applies to the rhythm: nothing is superfluous, nothing is lacking, there is absolute precision. The only detail that has nothing to do with the look of the group on the facts presented or the message to get across (this is not for criticism), is overly discursive texts, which makes them heavy and little indigestible at first listen. That adds to some assertions too pamphleteering, in contrast with other texts and, indeed, against the strength of what is shown, too many.

" Celebration "is one of the creations that arise as a reaction to the Bicentennial, and what waiting for us on September 18 is approaching. This time, the Public Theatre group performed a collective creation, with Cristian Aravena, around a string of silence in these two hundred years and that have shaped the Movimiento Popular. The role of the people in the country's development is reviewed by the company from a perspective which demonstrates the injustices experienced, and silenced by official history.
