Authorship SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

ABSTRACT

This article focuses on the (impossible) scenic presentation of death, raising new practical and theoretical challenges for contemporary performing arts. With this aim, we will consider some examples of the Argentine theatre in recent years: Los muertos (Ensayo sobre representaciones de la muerte en la Argentina), 2005, written and staged by Beatriz Catani and Mariano Pensotti, and Adonde van los muertos (Lado B), 2010, along with its prequel, Adonde van los muertos (Lado A), 2011, a creation by the Krapp group.
