Música de balas: the Dramatic Text to (some of) their Performing Readings

Abstract

This article proposes an approach to the dramatic piece Music of bullets (Música de balas) framed in violence resentful in Mexico during the past years, from the so-called “war on drugs” launched by former President Felipe Calderón Hinojosa (2006 - 2012). In order to perform this task, it begins with a context and literary analysis in order to arrive to different systems acting and stage resolution in four different productions of the work, based on the studies of semiological Anne Ubersfeld and Patrice Pavis, and the concepts of philosophy of the theater used by the Argentine critic Jorge Dubatti.

The work of contrast between some of the stagings of the text, allows to put in perspective the multiplicity of readings and different roads of scenic resolution.
