Chusca is an art collective formed in late November 2019 by Fernanda Fábrega, Andrés Gaete, Sebastián Jatz and Bernardita Pérez,
in order to perform the piece entitled “Personas que encontraron la muerte aunque sabemos que son más”,
[People who found death eventough we know there are more]
composed of a reading of the death count in Chile since the social movement that started in October 18, 2019.

Each case is followed by three successive cymbal crescendi.
A hidden bass drum is constantly beating like a Mapuche kultrún.
All is accompanied by three lit candles.

The piece has been performed in different contexts, being updated with current events on every opprotunity.
