Opis

This book explores the reception of renowned Greek tragic myths by contemporary Latinx theatre. Its discussion of six mythoplays by notable playwrights reveals an emergent mestizaje tuned to the tragic mode, while also showing the tragic mode to be lodged at the heart of the plays' radical politics and healing effects on communities of/in crisis.
