« PERFORMANCE, HORROR AND TALE”: THE DRAMATURGY OF ANGELICA LIDDELL AND MARÍA FOLGUERA

Abstract

Our article will analyze the work Y como no se pudrió... Blancanieves (Artezblai, 2007) by Angélica Liddell (Figueras, 1966) and the work Hilo debajo del agua (Ediciones La Complutense, 2010) by María Folguera (Madrid, 1984). These two works summarize some of the most important characteristics of the production of its authors. On the one hand, the Art of Performance, as a source of inspiration and/or as a tool for staging. On the other hand, the use of the narrative techniques of the tale in his dramaturgy and, finally, the denunciation of the human cruelty of our time. We will analyze the contrasts and similarities between the two works, how the traces of the performance are perceived, what concrete events animated these creations, how they make use of the genre of the tale and what kind of theater results from this wonderful miscellany.
