An emulation of a fast food “completo” shop (the local hot-dog variant), built with recycled materials and cardboard. The staging reflects on the precarization of the arts in Chile, through the performance act of selling “completo” baptized “artepleto” for the occasion. The artists perform a work that blurs the boundaries between a gastronomic business and an artistic project. What is nowadays’s relationship of art with the sphere of work? What distinguishes cultural work from any other type of work? What do artists live on?
After the social uprising, in which the arts played an active role within social movements, after a pandemic that left many agents of the arts without work for more than a year and a failed struggle for a new constitutional process in which it was expected that the importance of the arts would be recognized, these questions had to be asked again. The play invited the visitor to settle in this space and open a discussion on the matter.
