El teatro y el tiempo no mimético

Abstract

From Beckett –an author in the hinge between the avant-garde and the trans avant-garde- to the so called minimalist theatre in recent decades, theatre has discussed, by the means of parodic action, that quality strongly rejected by Artaud of being “God of Death”. Thus, it has developed a critical and metatheatrical inquiry that highlights the following recurrent and ambiguous question: what is time in theatre? Trans avant-garde theatre seems to embody that “present nonexistence and ineluctable necessity” of Artaud’s theatrical legacy, in an attempt to locate itself at the limit of representation.
