Editing Cueca (section)

===Cueca sola===
{{Interlanguage link multi|Cueca sola|es}} is a solo variant of the cueca created in 1978 by [[Violeta Zúñiga]] and other members of the [[Association of Families of the Detained-Disappeared]] (AFDD) as a non-violent protest against the Pinochet dictatorship. In this form of cueca, a woman ([[arpilleras|arpillerista]]) dances alone while holding a photograph of her [[desaparecidos|disappeared]] loved one. 

During the television [[campaign advertising]] the "No" option in the [[1988 Chilean national plebiscite]], a group of women (played by real-life relatives of the disappeared) performed the cueca sola. This powerful display of resistance was later re-enacted by surviving members of the group for the 2012 [[Academy Award for Best International Feature Film|Academy Award]]-nominated film [[No (2012 film)|''No'']], directed by [[Pablo Larraín]]. 

The symbolic gesture of cueca sola inspired the 1987 song "[[They Dance Alone|They Dance Alone (Cueca Solo)]]" by [[Sting (musician)|Sting]].
