Las mujeres no existen

Abstract

This paper looks into four plays by Chilean playwright Carla Zúñiga. It specifically analyses gender deconstruction, as it is very relevant in all the selected plays. The text also identifies and reflects on the camp (Sontag) features that the plays and their mise en scenes exhibit. It is relevant to this aspect to consider Camp features being specifically localized in the Latin American context. One last aspects that will be un folded in the text is the aesthetic and political links between the plays and Chile’s historical and cultural background.
