El Teatro Marconi is located on the Avenida Manuel Montt No.32 ½ block from La Avenida Providencia in the municipality of Providencia. As a child, in the 50’s, my brother and I used to go every Saturday matinee to watch 3 movies played until 4pm. It was called el rotativo and kids were allowed to watch all 3 movies more than once. It was a full day affair.
Later on, the name was changed to El Teatro Providencia. Apparently, during the Allende years, the theater also became a forum for the performing arts. Folk singers such as Quilapayún, Angel and Isabel Parra, Victor Jara sang the hopeful songs of La Nueva Cancion Chilena. Isabel
