Escenas desintegradas: Federico León y Rafael Spregelburd

Abstract

This article considers some theoretical and practical parameters with regard to the relationship and recycling of the Neo-Avant-Garde theatre of the 1960s, and that of the 1990s coined as theatre of desintegrationwith both tendencies producing similar absurdist techniques in the theatre of the new millennium. Two plays are analyzed: Cachetazo de campo (1997) by Federico León and Acassuso (2007) by Rafael Spregelburd in order to emphasize both the culmination of the theatre of desintegration of the 90s, as well as to explore how these same trends have persisted into the theatre of the twentieth-first century.
