Career

As playwright

Vodanovic was born in Split, Croatia in 1926.[1] Shortly after, he moved to Chile. His first works were light comedies acted by commercial theater companies. In 1959, Vodanović began to write for the university theaters, leading to a change in style. He adopted a neorealistic style, critically representing diverse aspects of the socio-political reality of his country through drama and comedy. His first such was the social drama Deja que los perros ladren ("Let the dogs bark"), which analyzed from a social and psychological point of view the phenomenon of corruption in the Chilean middle class. Viña, subtitled Tres comedias en traje de baño ("Three comedies in a bathing suit"), satirically portrayed the upper class's relationship with other classes of society.

As screenwriter

In 1982, he wrote a miniseries for

Canal 13 entitled Una familia feliz. It was not until 1984, when his first telenovela Los títeres
aired that he became known as a screenwriter. His television series were commercially successful while also intellectual, carefully disguising references to the Chilean socio-political context of the 1980s.
