Yuxtaposición de modos, tiempos y mundos en Los negros pájaros del adiós de Óscar Liera

Abstract

Abstract:

Óscar Liera (1946 - 1990) is undoubtedly one of the most prominent creators of the Mexican scene of the second half of the 20th century. He left us more than thirty no table dramatic works with innovative compositional forms in which the playwright displays a profound knowledge of human nature. Among them, Los negros pájaros del adiós 1986 stands out in its expression of the most elusive and problematic sides of a flawed love experience. The main purpose of this essay is to provide an account of some of the artistic forms that enabled Liera to build an unstable, dif fuse fictional world. in which the real and the unreal dreams and experiences not only coexist but also become frail and evanescent. To do this, I analyze essential elements of the textual composition, such as the construction of stage directions, the use of different temporal planes, and the presence of voices that testify in a problematic way about events not represented on stage.
