Latin American Indigenous Post-drama Architectures from an Andean Perspective Revisited

Abstract

Throughout this paper we will analyze the deep organizations of the Latin American indigenous post-drama from an Andean point of view and not from a Western standpoint. Theoretical framework. To better understand these, we will make comparisons with the dramatic and post-dramatic architectural dispositions of the West, but only in order to highlight and make more understandable those of the indigenous post-drama. Discussion and results. Next we are going to analyze and characterize a type of (post)dramatic organization very different from the Medieval and especially from the Greek Western one; that is to say, a (post-)theatrical culture we can describe as millenary, native and autochthonous typical of (one of) the Latin American indigenisms that has never been academically studied (theatrically speaking) until the present. In order to do so, we have carefully observed for a long time the plays with the greatest indigenous influence in countries such as Ecuador, Bolivia, Peru and Colombia. We have characterized their patterns in the light of studies related to this civilization and we will hereunder reflect doctrine and praxis through a canonical play of this culture: La flor de la Chukirawa, by Patricio Vallejo Aristizábal.
