The reasons for this practice range from modesty to prejudice, the search for fame, or even a simple whim. While some pseudonyms are familiar and endearing—Fernando Pessoa, Virginia Woolf, and Pablo Neruda, for example—, others, like the Cuban playwright Justo Eleboro, are lost in the annals of Caribbean and island literature. This article explores the brief work of Eleboro, a 19th-century Literary costumbrismo playwright whose dramaturgy constitutes a denunciation of colonialism, racism, slavery, and the phallocentric regimentation of gender roles. With an interdisciplinary perspective that combines historiographical and political analysis, this essay reads Eleboro's plays from the moment of the discovery of his true identity—Magín Robert—, which had been buried in a pseudonym for more than a century. An understanding of the latter's political and revolutionary militancy is crucial to the process of contextualizing his work and making it visible.","PeriodicalId":41320,"journal":{"name":"LATIN AMERICAN THEATRE REVIEW","volume":"56 1","pages":"104 - 85"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42446998","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This theatrical piece articulates the anxiety of the colonial elite regarding the access of subalternized groups—especially women of African descent—to objects that were considered exclusive to the ruling class, such as the textiles and luxury accessories in which the play's protagonist trades. The article highlights the socio-racial and gender tensions of colonial society as portrayed in the relationships between the main character and the female characters. The analysis of Molina's sainete reveals the urge of the eighteenth-century Enlightenment to control the apparent social disorder caused by sexual unions between people of different socio-racial status and by the transgressions that individuals considered to be of an inferior position were willing to commit in order to move up. This study highlights the complexities and paradoxes posed by interracial unions, the yearning of the colonial elite to move towards an ideal, predominantly White-Spanish society, and the efforts to define the identity of colonial subjects.","PeriodicalId":41320,"journal":{"name":"LATIN AMERICAN THEATRE REVIEW","volume":"56 1","pages":"23 - 42"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48369976","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This participatory performance draws attention to those who are buried in mass graves in Mexico and seeks to rescue their existence from oblivion, while questioning institutional impunity and involving the viewer in the search efforts. In a context in which the task of locating the remains of loved ones falls on civil society, the piece highlights how the disappeared and their families are victims of the ineffectiveness of the \"narco-machine\" that has become the Mexican State. Requiem#3 constitutes a performativity of disappearance, in which ritual, visual, and auditory aspects converge within a framework of necrotheatricality and transform the auditorium into a communitas. Music and sounds combine with body movements and acting objects to transform the stage into an altar that highlights the (un)burial of memory.","PeriodicalId":41320,"journal":{"name":"LATIN AMERICAN THEATRE REVIEW","volume":"56 1","pages":"63 - 84"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47044033","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
