Abstract
Isidora Aguirre widely developed a prolific and well known career as a Chilean playwright. She was recognized both nationally and internationally, since some of her major plays were translated. La Pergola de las Flores (1960) and Los que van quedando en el camino (1969) are among her most celebrated works. This article aims to present a rarely studied, but highly influential aspect in her political connections as a playwright. In times of the Unidad Popular, Aguirre created and presented a new theatrical form of short format called T.E.P.A (Popular, Experimental and Amateur Theater) with which expanded the “revolution” that Salvador Allende proposed in several villages north and south of Chile, both during his campaign to the presidency and the first two years of his government under the name of Los Cabezones de la Feria.
