In 2019, Chile's artistic collective Las Tesis staged the viral feminist performance "Un violador en tu camino" (A Rapist in Your Path), as a popular protest against Sebastián Piñera's government. This article analyzes the geopolitical context behind Las Tesis, focusing on Chile's 2019 events and the motivations behind the performance in Valparaíso. Subsequently, I explore the performance's structure and lyrics as a form of artivism, emphasizing its impact. The third section of this article will be dedicated to exploring the linguistic and musical adaptations of the same performance undertaken by various women's collectives, associations, or informal groups across the globe
