With Vivianne Dietz, Simón Pesutic stars in play rewritten by his father

The theatrical production "Los Payasos de la Esperanza" (The Clowns of Hope) is set to return to the stage, marking a new chapter for a play with a rich history. Originally staged in 1977 with performances by Rodolfo Bravo, Jorge Luis Olivarí, and Mauricio Pesutic, the work was later rewritten by Pesutic himself in 1986. After a revival in 2009, the play is now being brought back with a new cast and direction.

This latest iteration is directed by Roberto Farías and features Simón Pesutic, son of Mauricio Pesutic, and Vivianne Dietz, who is also Simón's partner. They will be joined by Germán Pinilla. The production carries the Pesutic name forward, with Simón taking on a leading role in a play that has been a part of his family's theatrical legacy.

The play is scheduled to premiere on June 18 at Teatro Mori Bellavista, where it will run until June 28. Following its run in Bellavista, "Los Payasos de la Esperanza" will move to Teatro Ictus, playing from July 3 to July 25. The production revisits the story of characters Tony Pelusita, Tony Cucharón, and Tony Liberty.
