Teatro, democracia y dictadura en Argentina : Vista panorámica de los Siglos XX y XXI

Abstract

With almost 30% of the century under non-democratic governments, theatrical poetics organized different modalities of resistance and resilience that involved several actors. In the first instance we will refer to the Workers' Theatre and Anarchist Theatre in connection with the Patriotic Fraud and the Tragic Week. In a second instance we will think about Independent theater as a modality of political linkage within the framework of the Uriburu dictatorship. In the third instance we will refer to a micropoetics of the new professional theater, The Blacksmith and the Devil, to think about the recursiveness of theater as an epistemological metaphor, twinned with the coup d'état against the second Peronist government. Our fourth example will be related to militant theater and the Octubre group, to then think about the emblematic case of Teatro Abierto and the last Argentine military dictatorship. Finally, we will analyze community theater as a link between the resistance of the de facto government and productivity during democracy; and the case of Teatro x la Identidad as a theatrical experience of the twenty-first century that draws on the heritage of the twentieth century.
