The theater of memory addresses key events in the development of society and its proposals increasingly seek to investigate both the topics it addresses and the way it is staged. Los héroes de mi patria belongs to this theatricality and has a very particular mechanism. In it, the author reviews his archive and, at the same time, the country's historical archive, reviewing the life of his military family. By analyzing its dramaturgy, staging and the vision of its creator, it has been possible to study the procedures that this staging proposes to address both themes, finding a dynamic mechanism where the intimate intersects with the reconstruction of official history. A form of approach that invites innovation in the theatricality of memory and its experience in the audience.
