Ñachi

IATI Theater presents the LAB Production of ÑACHI, a visceral story of ancestral rites, indigenous folk, and police brutality seen through the eyes of a sheep in Wallmapu, the land of the Mapuche people. Tracked through the passing seasons, the sheep’s wonder at the beauty of nature turns to rage at the violence exerted by the Chilean State. Ultimately, we are left to wonder— Is the sickness of human society beyond cure?

Told by a team of Chilean artists, this story brings us to the southernmost regions of Latin America, where native heritage has outlived the threat of erasure.
