Ariel Dorfman’s Death and the Maiden as a Mirror Reflecting the Dilemmas of Transitional Justice Policy

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
The Arts of Transitional Justice

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Transitional Justice ((SSTJ,volume 6))

Abstract

Ariel Dorfman’s play Death and the Maiden constitutes an example of theatre as a means of interrogating national transitional justice policy, on the one hand, and as a provocative form of transitional memorialization in action on the other. In a highly allegorical three-hander drama, Dorfman explores the motives and interests of victims, state actors and (alleged) human rights abusers, offering an array of individual narratives, versions and voices in contradistinction to the contemporaneous Chilean truth commission’s necessarily composite and generically representative report, leaving a freer moral choice to the viewer. It accurately captured some of the ongoing debates in Chile and transitional justice more generally at the time, and foreshadowed later debates. One can see in the determination of the victim character (Paulina) to secure a greater measure of justice and in the endurance of the playwright’s evident wish to revise the transitional settlement the roots of the later, stronger accountability process in Chile.
