El pez se está mirando. El teatro nacional en perspectiva
Abstract
Reflexión ensayística y crítica acerca de la identidad del teatro boliviano y su devenir a lo largo del último medio siglo. A partir del carácter problemático de esta identidad, la autora elabora tres hipótesis para explicar la falta de continuidad de la misma: 1) la necesidad inevitable de desarrollar el teatro en permanente interacción entre lo propio y lo ajeno; 2) que la precariedad institucional y falta de profesionalismo del teatro, que se está superando paulatinamente, no es determinante ni garantizará la mejora de la producción; y 3) aprovechando la imagen del pez en el agua, sostiene que el teatro contemporáneo está superando la falsa dicotomía de lo propio y lo ajeno, para expresar su entorno nacional sin complejos.
This is a critical essay on Bolivian Theater identity and its development along the last half century. Assuming this identity as problematic, the author poses three hypothesis: 1) the unavoidable imperative of this theater development between its own paradigms and the ones coming from other countries theater; 2) lack of professionalism and institutional precariousness, which are gradually overcoming, are not decisive nor will ensure the production quality; 3) using the fish in the water as the image, she argues contemporary theater is overcoming that false dichotomy between what belongs and what comes from outside.
