For six days, the façade of Palacio de la Moneda was the star of this show. An audiovisual narrative boasting cutting-edge technology recounted the country’s history from its beginnings. Fragments of poems by Pablo Neruda opened the show. Images on the façade of the palace and on water screens, smoke and pyrotechnic effects lit up the commemoration. The story revisited the pre-Hispanic period and paid tribute to the country’s ethnic groups before coming full circle back to today, offering the Chilean public an opportunity to look back over and relive key moments – those that have shaped their identity.
Images of the Viaducto del Malleco, the earthquake and the 33 miners, as well as of facets of popular culture, such as La Tirana Festival, Condorito and the music of Violeta Parra, brought spectators to tears, both of joy and sadness, and emphasized the qualities of strength, will and tenacity that typify the Chilean people.
