Abstract
The following essay tries to analyze and contextualize the exhibition of the play El Húsar de la Muerte, carried out by the artistic collective La Patogallina at the government house of Chile, La Moneda, in the framework of the inauguration of the VII International Festival Theater (FITAM) in 2001. In order to carry out the analysis, we propose the categories of liminality, performativity and politicity which allow conceiving this episode not from conventional theatrical structures, but from a transdisciplinary point of view. These categories plus the ideological, aesthetic and organizational backgrounds of the collective will allow us to understand the bursting of La Patogallina in La Moneda as an event which was marked by the confl icts with the Augusto Pinochet trial. This can be read as a fracture in the festivity/cultural space and the normative consensus that articulated the «politics of aperture» from La Moneda to all citizens.
