A tempestuous love story / a remarkable spiritual journey
It is September 11, 1973. Pablo Neruda, the great Chilean poet and political activist, lies dying. Matilde Urrutia, the love of his life and soon-to-be widow, faces a moral and personal crisis. Will she take up her husband’s “flag”? Will she stand up to the murderous military dictatorship that has inundated Chile? Or will she retreat behind the walls of her beloved garden? In Chile, in 1973, questions of social responsibility are a matter of life or death. My Life with Pablo Neruda - an original 4 act "opera-cabaret" for 8 performers – includes musical settings of some of Neruda’s most beloved poems. Using a diversity of styles that include references to Argentine tango, Brazilian samba, Cuban rumba, and Chilean cueca, My Life with Pablo Neruda tells a story that is especially relevant to today’s political climate, when politics has again become a matter of life and death.
