Mecanismos de la autoficción en el teatro sobre el franquismo de «los nietos»
(Servicio de Publicaciones de la Universidad de Navarra, 2021) de-la-Torre-Espinosa, M. (Mario)
This article uses the postmemory category by Marianne Hirsch for analyzing the theatrical plays that are enlisted under the artistic category of autofiction. In this case, plays by the generation of “los nietos”, as Santos Juliá termed it, are analyzed. This generation feels the responsibility of restoring a past about the Guerra Civil or the Franco’s dictatorship. Consequently, given the lack of testimonies and documents, the authors use a delegated memory for their dramaturgy. As result, we find plays of great persuasive power because they set up an intersubjective dialogue that allows the audience to perform an affiliative act with what has been told. As a case study, the play La armonía del silencio by Lola Blasco is analyzed, where Dolores, the playwright’s alter ego, becomes a clear example of postmemory, with a gender perspective in addition.
