This documentary tells the story of Jacqueline Roumeau, a playwright and theater director who, in the late 90s, began a theater workshop with female inmates at the Antofagasta Penitentiary Center. From this experience emerged the play 'Pavilion 2 – Sentenced Women', created after nine months of work and presented at the 'Santiago a Mil International Festival in 2000'. The project set a precedent for prison theater in Chile, showing how art can serve as a space for expression and personal reconstruction. The Roumeau Method revisits the process and outcomes of this initiative, highlighting the impact of theater within contexts of confinement. Beyond recounting a story, this audiovisual piece invites reflection on the use of art as a tool to transform realities and foster dialogue around justice and social reintegration.
