Carmen Aguirre’s Blue Box is performed by award-winning Canadian television and theatre performer Carmen Aguirre. This funny, sexual, moving and deeply political one-woman show is an intimate and sensual story of lust and revolution set in Chile, Los Angeles and Vancouver.

Carmen Aguirre’s Blue Box weaves together two stories: one from Carmen’s underground work in the 1980s Chilean resistance movement; the other of a passionate and complicated relationship with a charismatic Chicano actor, each exploring how to get what we want when no one wants us to get it. It’s a story of terror, romance, fear and abandon that takes us from the dangerous mountain passes of Chile to the dangerous roller coasters of Hollywood, from her passionate love affair with a TV star, to her passionate love for the revolutionary political movement that strove to free and change an entire nation.

Carmen's memoir, Something Fierce – Memoirs of a Revolutionary Daughter, recently won CBC Canada Reads 2012!
