Chile
Pablo Larraín
Acceso
«Acceso» is a powerful piece, and Roberto Farias is a powerful actor: wild, unruly and brilliant. With and for him, the well-known Chilean film director Pablo Larraín has brought his first stage play to fruition. Farias plays Sandokan, a social outcast, who sells junk to passengers on the Transantiago busses. While eloquently promoting his wares, he keeps digressing and, bit by bit, tells the story of his life — a life full of violence and abuse. It is the monstrous tale of someone who never had a chance and a fiery condemnation of church and state. «Farias shines like a dagger in the darkest of all streets», raves a Chilean critic. Farias gets under your skin. (kdi)
