In my opinion to choose someone as the greatest
Chilean of all time, is too hard to handle…
But any way, it suppose that I have to write
something and using this obligatory blog space, so I would like to talk about “ Hija de Perra.”
Victor Hugo “Wally” Perez Peñaloza, best known by her character “hija de perra” was a transvestite, drag queen, singer,
model, designer and performance artist, who also was an activist for sexual
dissident rights, for feminist rights and for the queer rights. Her character “Hija de perra” is very known in the field of political arts not only in Chile, but in a lot of Countries of Latin America, and even Spain.
She star in the movie “empanada de pino”
directing by Edwin Oyarce, an original and bizarre Chilean film. In the music fields, the song “Nalgas con
olor a caca” (that she usually sing whit Irina la Loca, her best friend and work
partner) becomes in a real hit in the underground world parties, but most of
all as a slogan for dissident life! Lol!
The first time that I so her performing a live,
she was in ICEI, singing that song in the middle of the yard, at lunch time,
she was invited to a university dissident band festival, I was really amaze!
The second time, was in the Capri cinema
for Dildo Rosa post porno art festival, she and Irina was the presenters, and their
show was really fun black humor to see!
But I never had the chance of meet her and
talk her in person. Victor Hugo past
away the 25th August of this years, causes the Queer world a real grieve,
but “Hija de perra” legacy will be live forever.
RIP. she was a example for many people.
ReplyDeleteI met to Hija de Perra the last year and she was great. I still feel sad :( She really was a contribution to the feminism and for the society <3
