Homodramaticus

Originally
written
by
an
Argentinean
dramatist
Alberto
Adellach,
Homodramaticus
is
re‐staged
as
a
dance‐theater
performance
concerning
the
war
and
its
ambivalent
nature. In
the
1960s,
Adellach
had
a
clear
political
and
theatrical objective
concerning
the
Argentinean
dictatorship,
the
war,
and
the constrained
structures
of
Latin
American
theater
at
that
time,
while
also considering
the
universal
human
drama.
Now,
other
wars
are
going
onaround
 the
 world,
 theatrical
 structures
 are
 already
 broken,
 and
 thus
 the anecdote
 is
 still
relevant.
 Garnica’s
 Homodramaticus
 questions
 the ambivalence
 of
 human
 nature
 itself
 and
transports
the
theatrical
conflict directly
to
the
body
of
the
actors.
