Description
Summary:The concept of the theater of the dead has been growing in extension and acquired a generic sense for us: it refers particularly to the poetic device of memory noted in the post-dictatorship theater, related to the experiences and representations of the past; in general, the boundless mass of theater from our predecessors, theater made by the already dead – artists, technicians and spectators – which returns, in some mysterious way, every time a theatrical event occurs. The memory of the theater of the dead is present in each new event. For all the theater we’ve done and seen, we are - even being still alive - in the historic thickness of the theater of the dead.
