Performers born in Pinochet's Chile tell stories of their parents' lives in the grip of dictatorship. Like stunt doubles, the eleven actors re-create their parents' experiences with photographs, letters, cassettes, old clothing, anecdotes and elusive recollections. Playful and political, The year I was born gives a seldom-seen and highly personal insight into the impact of a parent's actions. Two generations face one another in a reckoning of both the joy of childhood and the dark secrets from a bloody moment in international history.
