Prácticas escénicas mapuche contemporáneas o cómo pensar las propuestas políticas del arte en contextos de violencia estatal

Abstract

Lorena Cañuqueo and Miriam Álvarez propose an analysis of “the new practices scenic Mapuche” that were executed in Argentina and Chile as a way of responding to the state violence. The authors comment on the works of the Mapuche Theater Group “El Katango” in its quest to update mythical Mapuche traditions to think about them not as legends of the past, but as narratives that explain their present, and the Theatrical Festival of Indigenous Peoples, where a new theater seeks another way of doing politics and strengthen, from emotion and poetic proposal, original ways of creating communities of meaning that include indigenous and non-indigenous people.
