Abstract

The play by Austrian playwright Elfriede Jelinek is, most evidently, an acidic critique of the US 's invasion of Iraq and the role the media has played in the conflict. Bambiland is a work in which nothing is clearly defined: accusations and potential meaning intersect and become diffused in different directions. In this work I analyze how Emilio García Wehbi constructs diverse languages in his staging to express logic of indeterminacy that reproduces and empowers certain elements of the dramatic text.
