Inhoudsopgave:
Lagartijas Tiradas al Sol (Lizards Lounging in the Sun) is a Mexican theater company that performs what is known as theater of the real.By taking reality as its subject, this genre claims a special relationship to reality, truth, and authenticity. In \u0026lt;i\u0026gt;A Shared Truth\u0026lt;/i\u0026gt;, Julie Ann Ward traces the development of this contemporary and cutting-edge collective\u0026#8217;s unique aesthetic. Based on performances, play texts, videos, and interviews, this in-depth look at a single theatrical troupe argues that the company\u0026#8217;s work represents a larger trend in which Latin American theater positions itself as a source of and repository for truth in the face of unreliable official narratives. \u0026lt;i\u0026gt;A Shared Truth\u0026lt;/i\u0026gt; critically examines the work of an influential company whose collaborative methods and engagement with the real challenge the bounds of theater. |
