L’impossible réconciliation avec le passé : Desaparecido d’Enrique Lozano
Year: 2019
Type: article
Abstract: This article consists in the study of a dramatic work considered as representative of the transition period that Colombia currently faces : Desaparecido, written in 2008 by Enrique Lozano, a contemporary author who won two national dramatic prizes. This play deals with the problem of reconciling the past from both in a dramatic and historical perspective. By its theme, it foreshadows some of the new issues brought by the signature of the peace deal – especially the reinsertion and the redemption of guerilleros– while refusing to engage in a definitive meaning. It is therefore symptomatic of the uncertainty of this historical time, but also of the artistic transition led by the new generation of dramatic authors to whom the playwright belongs, the generation of the constitution of 1991, that distances itself from the activist plays and leaves room for ambiguity.
