el Teatro de tema caribeñoviejos mitos y nuevas visiones

Abstract

This thesis is about the Caribbean, the myths in its Caribbean expression and reinterpretation, and drama forms in the theater of a series of authors of great aesthetic, ideological and theatrical interest: Derek Walcott, Steve Carter and Fred D'Aguiar. It also has an introduction on aspects related to the Caribbean and dramatic forms such as carnival, music, language and distinctive creations such as Jonkonnu and Jamaican pantomime. This work deals simultaneously with purely Caribbean aspects and the classic Western tradition and other areas of the Caribbean, highlighting the semiotic and cultural significance of specific aspects of Caribbean culture through three myths: Don Juan, Medea and El Dorado.
